    Sounds like Blair did. And I'm pleased that the best version of this shot is by him!

    Okay, I know this is obsessive, but I made a video showing that they are two different photos, from two slightly different perspectives:

    Derek! That is so cool that you did the comparison. They are different, but it's really only visible in the clouds - thanks for clarifying it...

    The shot is awesome no matter what!

    What a shame that Blair never really got the full credit, at least in the work e-mails that got sent around.

    I even got them in my mailbox!

    Either way, fantastic photos and how wonderful that photos of our beautiful city got circulated all around the world.

    These are so amazing

    During those 2 weeks of fog, there were probably 20 people up at the Cypress first lookout every day... more on top of the mountain. There are likely to be a LOT of photos that look very similar. :)

    Mine are here:

    Mother nature sure gave us all a great scene to shoot!

    It looks like the BCTV News Hour will address the question of who took this photo on their 6 p.m. edition today (Jan 28).
  • Derek K. Miller · 11 months ago
    BCTV's answer: "Dunno who took the photo, but there were a bunch of people up there who took a whole lot of cool pics." Very helpful. :)

    And yet here, plain and simple and obvious and discussed on the internets FOR THE PAST WEEK before their story aired, is the answer.

    Shame they couldnt highlight Blair's awesome work.

    Who cares!? If you'd been up one of the mountains during the fog, you would know how beautiful it was and how every shot could be a piece of art. Nice picture---> NEXT!

    Can anyone tell me what the mountain in the background is?
  • buzz · 11 months ago
    Right is Orcas Island, left is a mountain near Bellingham.

    Awesome photos - I blogged them as soon as I received them - without being able to give credit.

    Thanks to Kat for clearing up this confusion!
