Every year, I create a landscape photography calendar from images taken in that year. Typically it is a mix of imagery from public lands and wilderness areas from all over the country, interspersed with a few from my international travels taken that year. However, this year is not quite like the others. My travel, like those of many others, had been restricted in the first half, and even in the second half, had been careful adventures into public lands around me.

Hence, I chose to focus on the beauty of the Pacific Northwest, and realized that this tiny corner had so much to offer even to the novice explorer. Hence the National parks and wilderness areas of the state of Washington, Oregon and Idaho feature predominantly on the 2021 Calendar. It is still in the works, and this is one of the images that will be featured in the calendar.
