On the way out from Seattle to Mt Rainier National Park and Sunrise, I drove for miles along the White River. There were precious few spots where it was safe to stop for a view of the river, but there were pull-outs at both ends of Federation Forest State Park. This shot looks vaguely east toward Chinook Pass. <\/p>\n

The \u201cwhite\u201d in White River, and the odd look to the river in the image, comes from fine particles of clay suspended in the rushing water. It makes a difference from the tannin tea colored brook waters and crystal clear mountain streams of the east (and the Rockies for that matter). <\/p>\n

There was no avoiding the haze in the air, which solidified almost to mist over the darker trees up river,  but it is still, as I see it, a wonderful mountain scene.<\/p>\n

Canon SX50HS. Program with iContrast and \u20131\/3EV exposure compensation. About 58mm equivalent field of view. f4.5 @ 1\/800th @ ISO 160. Processed in Lightroom for intensity, clarity, and sharpness. I also used a Graduated Filter Effect from the top to increase clarity in the mountains slightly.<\/p>\n
