Description
2014 was welcomed at Alpental ski area in Washington State's Cascade mountains without our traditional torchlight ski parade because there wasn't enough snow on the lower mountain. But we still managed to celebrate with the burning of flares in the shape of the number "14" and a spectacular explosive salute from the top of a granite cliff overlooking the area. In this time exposure, the stars leave tracks against the night sky because of the Earth's rotation while the shutter was open. The momentary brilliant flash from the fuel-enhanced explosive charge was also captured while the shutter was open, and illuminates the snow on the cliff face and lower mountain ski runs. Nice!
