28 Jan 14. The second trip up to Fir Island provided us with a day of mostly sunshine after the morning fog dissipated around 1100. As the fog was making its final stand, the mountains began to really show off their stuff, and Mt Baker in particular put on a wonderful show all day long. At one point, as the sun was making its final assault on the fog, we experienced a couple dramatic shows of sunlight falling on the farmlands as lines of light, much as if the ground had been laid out like a gridiron with the sunlight pretending the be the chalk lines, albeit a bit wide. As lovely as it was in color, I liked the composition even better in B&W, so that's what I'm sharing today. About 15 minutes after this shot was taken the fog was fully dispatched and we were on our own to come up with whatever creativity we could muster. Nikon D300s; 18 - 200; Aperture Priority; ISO 200; 1/500 sec @ f / 9.
