Blue Morning Mist

Location Origin Story

Mount Hood, Oregon peaks through early morning haze made by the Columbia River radiating cool air mist rising from the water’s surface and spreading throughout the entire area in the hot dense morning atmosphere.

This image was lensed very early in the pre-dawn morning when flying from Hillsboro Oregon over to Yakima, Washington. The sun is still 45 minutes away from rising so all the ambient blue-hued light is due to the over the horizon alpenglow effect.

About This Photograph

This serene blue scene was photographed at daybreak in the month of September while Zedekiah was flying and exploring the Wind River in the Gifford Pinchot National Forest.

Image Rarity

The image was taken from a moving aircraft, as Zedekiah piloted the aircraft while simultaneously operating the camera.

Zedekiah took flight before dawn to get to a high enough altitude to film this beautiful alpenglow effect.

Timing and being in the place-in-space for this scene to reveal itself was crucial to this image composition.

Lastly, it is impossible to simply walk up a trail and take the same photograph again. This image was very difficult to create, and is truly one-of-a-kind, therefore making it extremely rare.
