Mt. Rainier over Lake Washington
Day Two Hundred and Eighty Four - Mt. Rainier over Lake Washington
Originally uploaded by Walkabout Wolf
We have had spectacular weather for the last several days in the Seattle area. It has been crisp, colorful and sunny. In fact, after having lived here for 22 years, this has been an Autumn to remember. One of the most incredible things about living in the Seattle area is Mt. Rainier which dominates the southern sky on a clear day. For those of you who haven’t visited Seattle, I thought this picture would give you a sense of how huge the mountain is. This pictures was taken from the I-90 floating bridge, which lies in the middle of Lake Washington. We have a similar view from Kenmore which is only a few miles north. You don’t have to live close to this natural treasure to feel its power and maginficance. The mountain reminds us that even though we live in a relatively large urban area, we are surrounded by some of the most wonderful natural beauty in the US.
Here are several other pictures of Mount Rainier taken recently by photographers. Hope you like them:
