This is one of several vantages coming back from the hike to Lake Solitude, heading toward the Cascade Canyon. It was by far one of my favorite hikes I've ever taken. Not too far from here I came across a ~400lb black bear on the trail. That's always fun when you're alone & 9+ mi from the trailhead. You can even make out the forest fire from the other side of the mountain range pouring into the canyon.

This panoramic is merged from 4 hdr's that were each 5 shots @ 1ev, handheld as I was too lazy to carry my tripod on an 18.5 mi hike. Crunched in Photomatix Pro 4 & CS3.
