++view on black to take it all in++ Well now that the flowers are pretty much sufficiently KO'd on St. Helens I think now is as good a time as any to post this one. After three failed attempts countless hours on the road and several lost hours of sleep I finally snagged a St. Helens sunset shot in all of her glory. I hauled some serious butt down to St. Helens after work when I saw that high pressure was in place and high clouds were filtering in from the south. I knew that this was probably the last prime weekend for flowers so it was now or never. I literally got to Johnston Ridge about 20 minutes before sunset and ran around like a chicken with my head cut off trying to find a decent comp that included the epic Super Moon rise that was scheduled to happen just after sunset. I couldn't have asked for better conditions and company for that matter as I also ran into Kristina Wilson and Paul Bowman; small freaking world! This was probably one of the single most intense sunsets I've ever had the privilege of witnessing, it burned well into the 10 o'clock hour and was absolutely incredible to say the least.

Landscape comprises the visible features of an area of land, including the physical elements of landforms such as (ice-capped) mountains, hills, water bodies such as rivers, lakes, ponds and the sea, living elements of land cover including indigenous vegetation, human elements including different forms of land use, buildings and structures, and transitory elements such as lighting and weather conditions.
Combining both their physical origins and the cultural overlay of human presence, often created over millennia, landscapes reflect the living synthesis of people and place vital to local and national identity. Landscapes, their character and quality, help define the self-image of a region, its sense of place that differentiates it from other regions. It is the dynamic backdrop to people’s lives.
The Earth has a vast range of landscapes including the icy landscapes of polar regions, mountainous landscapes, vast arid desert landscapes, islands and coastal landscapes, densely forested or wooded landscapes including past boreal forests and tropical rainforests, and agricultural landscapes of temperate and tropical regions.
Landscape may be further reviewed under the following specific categories: landscape art, cultural landscape, landscape ecology, landscape planning, landscape assessment and landscape design. The activity that modifies the visible features of an area of land is named Landscaping.
