2019 Photo Gallery
All Photos Copyright © 2019 Henning Umland
These are photos taken during a 5-week trip through Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Montana, the Dakotas, Nebraska, and Colorado in August/September 2019. The camera was an Olympus PEN-F with a Zuiko 12-100mm zoom lens. The landscapes of the Northwest are rather different from those of the Southwest, but no less spectacular. However, the weather reminded me strongly of British Columbia. In other words, sunshine is not guaranteed here. Therefore, the photo yield in some places, e.g., Glacier NP in Montana, was not quite as I had expected. You just can't have everything you want.
