North Cascades

Two weeks ago, I hiked to Barclay Lake below Mount Baring with Suor.



Last Saturday I hiked up to Heybrook Lookout with Nabeel. On the way, we also stopped at Deception Falls.

Cougar & Tiger Mountains

The past two Saturdays I've gone hiking. I've posted some photos to Flickr.

Cougar Mountain


Tiger Mountain


Both mountains are part of the "Issaquah Alps" which are in the suburbs east of Seattle. I think I'll try going to the northeast on my next hiking trip - Barclay Lake below Mount Baring sounds good.

Crystal Mountain

Photos from skiing at Crystal Mountain on Sunday.

Black & White Photos

I went to the Pike Place Market this weekend and took some photos.

Crater Lake

Lots of lots of photos from last month's camping trip to Crater Lake.

Real Madrid Photos

Photos from last month's Real Madrid v. DC United football match.

Mount St. Helens

I put up some photos of Mount St. Helens on Flickr from when I went hiking there with Suor in August.

Mount Si

I went hiking up Mount Si yesterday with Sudhanshu. It was my third time hiking up to the top. I can tell that I'm in better shape then the previous times, but it was still quite grueling (and my knees are a bit sore today). The weather was little hazy, but the view from the top was good.

I'll post some photos once I install a new hard drive. (My current one is a bit small and full of music and photos).


And is it just me or does the Joliet file system suck. Why can't perfectly valid filepaths from a FAT or NTFS drive be copied onto a CD as is. Is that too much to ask?

Lake Serene and Talapus Lake

Some hiking photos from July: Lake Serene (with Suor and Nabeel) and Talapus Lake (with Dave and Caroline).

Budapest

All the photos from my European adventure are now on Flickr. In particular, Vienna, Bratislava, and Budapest are the recent additions.

Prague

Some of the photos I took in Prague are now up on Flickr.

Lake Serene

I went hiking to Lake Serene [Seattle PI] yesterday with Suor and Nabeel. We got a late start and it was a bit of drive to get there - it's 8 miles east of Gold Bar (Highway 2). The bottom part of the trail was relatively flat and a little boring. After about a mile in a half, you reach a rock face with water trickling down that was cool looking. Then the trail got really hard. The signpost at the fork in the trail listed the distance to the top as 2 miles, but it seemed a lot longer than that. And the trail was very steep (wooden "stairs" were often necessary) and extremely rocky. Near the top, there was a decent view of the valley below and the nearby mountains. The lake at the top was awesome - small, but a nice colour and surrounded by trees, cliffs, and snowbanks. We chilled out at the top for a while before heading back down.

I'll post some photos to Flickr once I'm done sorting through all my Europe photos.

Viking

Flickr

I created a Flick Account for myself. I've posted photos and commentary from the London lag of my vacation. I plan to add photos from more cities as time permits.

Wallace Falls

Photos from last Saturday's hike to Wallace Falls.

Twin Falls

Last Saturday I went hiking with Suor to Twin Falls, 40 minutes east of Seattle. The trail wasn't too difficult and after 1.5 mile lead to a bridge above and behind the falls. There was also lookup point facing the falls. I've posted twenty-one photos with some more details in the accompanying descriptions.

Vibe

I haven't been taking too many photos recently, so here are some random macro shots of my new Vibe Glasses. (As no three of drinking glasses/mugs/cups matched, I thought an upgrade was in order; I now have sixteen complementary glasses).

M & M's

Six photos of M & M's in a bowl.

Christmas Photos

I posted some photos I took of my family at Christmas on Flickr.

Rattlesnake Ledge

Photos obtained after hiking up to Rattlesnake Ledge.
