We visited Winthrop, WA after spending the morning driving the North Cascades Hwy, and drove to Lake Chelan to spend the night.   On Tuesday we drove via Leavenworth and Stevens Pass to complete our loop through the Cascade Mtns.   I used my Fuji S6000fd camera on a monopod to capture these pictures.   The monopod helps get sharper images than hand-holding the camera... it is becoming my habit now.
