Hood Sky +

Climbing to a high vantage point at a Mt. Hood Ski Resort, the journey began long before sunrise. Exiting my cabin in Rhododendron, I trekked through the stillness of the pre-dawn chill. The air was crisp, and the snow loomed deep, often waist-high. After navigating the quiet slopes, I finally settled at my location—an isolated spot boasting sweeping views of the mountainous landscape. As I waited, the world transformed around me, the first light illuminating the peaks in breathtaking hues. In that frozen moment, I captured the essence of the mountain—an image that tells a story of solitude, beauty, and the dedication that comes with pursuing art in nature’s most pristine settings.
