A picture of a set of trees in the middle of a field. A peaceful winter day.

The style is reminiscent of old Native American art; trying to make these look abstract and stylish.

Welcome to the Woods of Skwim Peaks

On my first trip out to Mt Rainier I had to turn around because of the snow. On this trip I woke up crazy early to drive an hour an a half to capture a sunrise coming up to light up Mt Rainier. Me and about 20 other photographers were all lined up with our shots ready. Well the Fog had its own idea and I had to leave before it broke.

Initial logging enterprises in mid-1800s Washington State existed to supply timber to California’s Gold Rush and the population growth it precipitated. But when the Northern Pacific railroad opened a direct rail link over the Cascades to Tacoma in 1887, and with Wisconsin and Minnesota already grossly depleted by deforestation, Washington and the Pacific Northwest quickly assumed the role of primary timber supplier to the nation, ensuring the region’s rapid development as it entered the 20th century and 'Washington's toothpicks' became an increasingly common sight as loggers hauled them down the highways and byways.

This design comes from my background in northwest homesteading In Alaska! Rugged men and women who are not afraid to live off the land or hike for long distances in the wilderness. I added the well know black spruce trees in the plaid. Which seems to reflect now and then in a hidden lake.
