Piece description from the artist
From Seattle, the snow-capped summit of Rainier looks almost like a mirage. But in the Paradise district of Mt. Rainier National Park, at the foot of the eponymous peak, iced-over peaks are very real. Even in late spring, when I made this photo, the landscape is entirely buried in snow. With over 16 meters of snowfall every year, this is one of the snowiest places on Earth.
And the snow on the top of the mountain, part of a large system of glaciers, has been there since the last ice age!

Currently located in Washington, DC, Scott is a native Floridian photographer specializing in landscape photography. His work explores the interplay of light and dark — rejecting the notion that photography is just “painting with light.” He seeks what resides in the contrast — the liminal spaces of the world.
Scott has shot in some of the most beautiful locations in the world, including Iceland and locations throughout the Old World. But some of his most inspiring locations are right at home in America's enchanting National Parks.
