From the Cascades Panoramas: Northern Pickets from Ruth Mountain...

 

Welcome to our Cascades Panoramas site. The purpose of this site is to showcase some of our unique panoramic photographs of Washington's Cascade Mountains. Most of these photos required hauling a fair amount of photographic equipment up a long and steep trail, a moderate technical mountaineering route, or even up in a small plane, so we hope you'll find these photos a little bit different from what you will see elsewhere.

 

Your mountain guide for this site is Gregg Brickner, currently a Seattle resident. I've been poking around in the mountains in a semi-serious way for over twenty years now, starting with my first trip up New Hampshire's Mt Washington back in -- uhh -- never mind. Combine that with a love of photography, a passion for spending lots of money on cool equipment, and a genuine desire to show you what it looks like "up there", and you get this Web site as the result. Most of these images were obtained on trips with my wife Anne, who is also an active lover of the outdoors. Although you won't find any photos of climbers on difficult technical terrain, I hope the images of the natural world speak for themselves. And oh yes, don't get the idea the weather in Washington is always as nice as it might appear!

 

The panoramas are typically made from some high-point or summit in the Cascade Range of mountains, mostly in Washington. They aren't all 360-degree panoramas, but they do all integrate multiple film or digital images, sometimes even five or six for a relatively narrow panorama. The Panorama Information Page describes the hike and the equipment for each panorama. A Technical Information Page provides information about how these images were made with ordinary photography equipment. So, without further ado, please enjoy our
