Shuksan

While maybe not the tallest peak in the Cascades, Mount Shuksan is the most stunning. The peak rises dramatically over its surroundings and is covered with glaciers - in some areas, the glaciers are over 300 feet thick. This picture was taken from Picture Lake, which is a good name for this little lake! I used an ND filter to capture this scene - which smoothed out the texture of the water and captured the movement of the waving grass in the wind - which created a nice, soft foreground.
