alpenglow

Kicking back to watch purplish and pink sunset colors arc over the sky while the last gasps of alpenglow fade from Mount Adams felt like a classic Northwest rural tableau.

The white crags lit up with pink alpenglow.

As the sun rose, it lit up morning alpenglow on Mount Baker, Mount Rainier and the Olympics.

However, the late afternoon light shines alpenglow onto nearby peaks like Granite Mountain that are visible from the valley floor.

The alpenglow on the surrounding peaks like Vishnu Temple is surreal.
