I took these yesterday at sunset (I woke up at 2PM - so much for sunrise shots!). This was the first time I had been back to Snoqualmie since the flooding, the roads are all open and the river is back to normal levels. I noticed that there were some big puffy clouds and though there was a decent chance for a good sunset, and there was a great sunset.

#1: Mt. Si reflecting in Lake Borst (small 3-exposure panorama). The floods had actually changed the perimeter of the lake a little bit making it more open and accessible:

#2: A little bit later

#3: A little bit later still...

#4 (12 minutes after #3, I drove 5 minutes to Snoqualmie Falls with my gear unpacked so that I could catch the falls for about 10 minutes before it got too dark, I got 5 photos, this was my favorite):

#5: Same shot as above in B&W, I actually like the B&W version better:

    I really like the colors in #1 and #2. I think I like the b/w falls shot better too.

    Thanks for the comments everyone! I wasn't even going to shoot that day and then I saw that clouds and knew there was a 50% chance of having a great sunset and that's good enough odds for me.
