If you haven’t ordered 2014 calendars yet, please do so soon through my Kickstarter project. Less than 2 weeks left! My calendars feature 11×16.5 inch prints, Sun/Moon rise/set times, tide charts, and seasonal advice. I am printing two editions: California and Washington. Note: this year the calendars will have a Sunday week-start.

A few weeks ago I spent two days in the North Cascades, and was treated to the complete quintessential Cascade experience: miles of rarely travelled paths winding up through wet and green jungles; sub-alpine meadows laden with berries; talus slopes shrouded in swirling mists; alpine lakes with views of glaciated peaks and volcanoes; and natural hot springs to ease the muscles aches.
This time, I’ll let the images do the rest of the talking. I apologize for not having the time to tell a more in-depth story; I have a dissertation to write, which will describe in painstaking detail everything I have learned over the past 5 years about how a fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, uses visual and olfactory information to locate food (like fermenting fruit in your kitchen).
Awesome stuff Floris!!!!
While all these images are great and I’m guessing the main goal of the trip was to get mountain vista style images, I actually think the first image is the best rainforest image I’ve ever seen. It really captures how wonderful warm sunshine is in the dark forest perfectly.
Gorgeous photo yet again. Meanwhile, it would be great if you would do an exhibition of your photo at some Seattle art gallery/cafes, and offer a talk over your favorite photos!
Thanks everyone for the kind words!
Glad you like the forest on Nicholas, it was a wonderful moment of light.
Michael – thanks for the encouragement. I’m very busy the next few months, but will try to make something happen early next year again.
