thanks, Barb! i'd never been up there before... i've been up to the other side several times, to photograph Mt. Shuksan from Picture Lake, but for some reason i just made it up to Baker Lake. i think i'll go back in a couple of months and see how it looks with the trees leafed out, maybe head up early to get some morning light... might even get a decent reflection in the lake as well!

I've got to wonder what it will look like in a week or two... Once the trees are all leafed out, you'll have a solid band of green on the far side. Personally, I think what you have right now makes for a more interesting photo. So I'm wondering what it would look like just as the decidious trees budded out, still that light yellow green, with the evergreens being a dark green color. If you could get a contrast between the two, that might be cool and provide more interest... (I hope!)
Definitely... Get up there in the very early morning, with the lake flat and still, and with the fall colors bright, you'd have a great shot!
How long does it take you to get up there? The trick with fall leaves is that sometimes they don't last very long. You almost need to keep checking to see when they're at their peak.

it's about 100 miles, so right around 90 minutes. far enough that i'd rather not do it every weekend, but close enough to check every couple of weeks or so. usually the colors peak up that way a little sooner than down here in the flatlands, so about the end of September, or maybe first week of October would be about right...
