Seattle Times reader Radka Chapin’s photo of a breathtaking moment in the wilderness.
Photographer: Radka Chapin, Redmond
Photo taken: July 2, North Cascades National Park
Photographer’s description: “We were returning to camp after a long climb of a remote peak when we enjoyed a beautiful sunset over the mountains. This was day 6 of a nine-day mountaineering traverse in North Cascades National Park. Few places are as rugged, remote and wild as this. Nikon D600, lens Nikon 16-35 mm, F/4.”
Katie’s critique: “The choice of the wide angle lens was a great decision.
