This is one of those photos where you have to question how real it is because of it being too good looking.

I can assure you it's very real. The effect is created by a lot of haze in the atmosphere due to wildfire smoke. It's a nice photo, but a bit sad when you think about how much was lost to make it possible.

Looks like the Appalachian views near me, but more jagged. Those mountains are just kids!

The Norwegian word for a view like this is "blåner". The best way to translate that is "bluies", I guess? Anyway, blåner = awesome.

I know what you mean, but as someone who lives near Vancouver in the cascade mountains, I can tell you the mountains often look like this. The right combination of distance, fog or smoke will do this.

So beautiful. I spent most of my life looking west toward the Rockies (in Calgary) and I absolutely loved seeing the foothills fade into the distance to the snowy peaks. This is a great photo!

Awesome shot! Any others taken in portrait? Would love to use this as a phone background! We get similar views from Mt. Hood here in Oregon but not quite as rugged. The layers are my favorite!

Replying to andrewrimanic (#1,296,606)

I don't know anything about this specific case but wildfires generally are very normal and actually necessary for a forest's ecosystem in many places. In many parts of the Rockies for instance they are important for biodiversity and the carbon cycle.

Obviously that's dependent on frequency and impact and the current trend is leaning towards too many and too devestating due to climate change and human impact in general. Just wanted to give the perspective that fire and the death of shrubs and bushes (which are mostly affected in natural fires) isn't really a bad thing, for those who don't know - like me up until recently when this was lectured in my class.

Is there a succinct english word/phrase for this effect of multiple mountain range crests going into the distance with varying visibility? It's one of my favorite things but I never know how to describe it well.

Last year I shot a somewhat similar photo in my city https://www.reddit.com/r/fotografiaBR/comments/w7z8uw/uma_manhã_com_névoa_em_curitiba/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android_app&utm_name=androidcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

If you don't mind me asking, what did you do in the color treatment? I struggled a lot with trying to get this monotone blue thing you got going on here but I was not successful.

Great pic btw!

Oh wow, damn. I was wondering about the fadeout at the bottom, thanks. It is a gorgeous picture (and I really love atmospheric perspective), but yeah, bummer that's what it takes to get that effect.

There's a spot on one of the roads near my house, also in the PNW, that when it's smokey there's a really cool blue/gray gradient in the trees. Normally they're just a wall of dark green and don't particularly stand out. Unfortunately it's in a spot where I can't stop to take a photo. Maybe this summer, when it's smokey again (unfortunately).

Saw this when we were there this summer. We were at the top of Grouse during the heat wave and the humidity darkened the peaks in layers like that.

Unfortunately I didn't take any that are portrait or could be cropped to fit a phone. I've wanted to use this as my phone wallpaper for a while but the super narrow crop just doesn't look very good.

There's a spot near the border where you can get a lot of layers to line up like this with Mount Baker being the highest layer. I took the photo once but it didn't turn out nearly as nicely as this one so I'll have to go back when the conditions are right

andrewrimanic OP t1_j3a485d wrote

Replying to perguntando (#1,298,443)

The editing I've done here is quite minimal. I bumped the contrast and sharpening a little bit to make the edges between the layers more well defined. A little increase in clarity can also help achieve this.

I don't think this is relevant to your photo, but for the sake of full disclosure I did edit the colour of this photo a little bit In the raw I found that each successive layer became slightly more orange than the last (likely because the haze was wildfire smoke) so I added a graduated filter with a slight blue tint to counteract the orange and give the layers a more uniform look.

I figured it out! I'm like 80% sure it's taken from Colliseum looking North East. So it is the back country of Grouse. I have a pic of he same viewpoint but I don't know how to post it.

Edit - sorry may have been snapped at Grouse from the base of the Eye of The Wind turbine or inside of it (200ft up in the pod) because the pictures I have from Colliseum match the first mountain range but the angle is much lower than OPs pic.

This looks like it was taken from the top of Crown Mountain or something. If I'm not mistaken, the ridge lines that we're looking at (from back centre to front) are: The Chream range, Golden Ears (the Blanchard Needle is the spike right of centre), Coquitlam Mountain, the peaks of Mt Seymour (Elsay, Bishop, etc.), and the back of Coliseum Mountain or Mount Burwell. OP, can we get conformation?

It was created as a way to avoid the taxes paid by business district of Lonsdale subsidizing the residential areas. At the time, Lonsdale was the only main street in the area. As the surrounding areas grew, more streets were built but the original centering of the city around Lonsdale still stands as is shown inthis map.
