We live fairly close to an Army post. You can tell new soldiers that behind the clouds is a great mountain. They'll look at you like you've lost your mind. It looks as flat as can be from the post on a cloudy day.
When we finally get a beautiful clear day and they walk out, they are stunned to find a HUGE mountain. Our beautiful and most majestic, Mt. Rainier.
I decided I'd join Sky Watch Friday's and photograph the mountain from the same vantage point over the next few months. (It's highly unlikely I'd be able to play weekly) It will give you an idea of how she often cloaks herself with the clouds.
One day it will look as if you could reach out and touch her. Other days she looks very distant and then there are days, sometimes weeks you don't see her at all.
I hope you enjoyed my first entry for the Sky Watch photo theme. Be sure to check out other skies around the world. Sky Watch Friday.
Excellent way to start SWF! I'll be following along. It's nice to see Rainier from a different vantage point.
ReplyDeleteIt's a beautiful shot and a beautiful mountain. Kind of sounds like the mountains around L.A. It's so smoggy sometimes you forget they're there, then one day the Santa Ana winds blow and all you see is mountains.

Great way to start skywatching!
ReplyDeleteThats a beautiful view, I look forward to seeing it (or not seeing it) again. I bet an Army kid from the Midwest would flip when seeing it.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful open light view. Gorgeous light.
ReplyDeleteWelcome to SWF. It's always a pleasure to "see" Mt Rainier. But I'll settle with any view of her. Great capture.
ReplyDeleteMajestic is definitely the perfect word. Great shot! I'd love to see it in person someday.
ReplyDeleteGreat that you joined, but do post weekly it you can, we want to see the weather not just the beautiful mountain. Nice shot.
ReplyDeleteI lie how you call the mountain "she". She is indeed a mother of mountains.
