Fall in the Pacific Northwest - Aerial and Astro Photography

The fog and mist of autumn lie heavy on the low hills of Southwest Washington. The clouds run like rivers of cotton candy down the slopes of the Cascade Mountain Range to pool in quiet valleys, cloaking farms and forests in a quieting hush of somber silence. The fog creates different worlds, the spooky haunted land of evening when it flickers like a living thing through the marsh grasses, the moonlit grandeur of its rise skyward in the night, and the seldom seen fairlyland that lives so briefly in the hours of dawn, glimpsed only by airplanes, drone pilots, and a few lucky hikers on mountain peaks. Autumn fog is a magical thing indeed.

Aerial photos were captured with the DJI Mavic 2 Pro, other photos were captured with the Nikon Z6, the Nikon 300mm F4 PF, and the Rokinon 14mm F2.8.
