Looking south onto the 14,000 foot mountain. If you can't see it from Seattle, it's raining. If you can see it, it's going to rain. But way up there it snows and the volcano holds 26 glaciers and numerous permanent snowfields, 36 square miles worth.

Comments by Jan Bjorklund on Thu, 11/01/12 09:52 I like the painterly feel of your composition of Mount Rainier (the light, the color and the nature of the setting), the view across the greenery to the snow capped form of Mount Rainer (like looking at a cresting wave) and your comments for the picture. I remember this mountain from my teenage years and taking trips there for skiing. Comments by Ruth Rittichier on Thu, 11/01/12 10:24 A beautiful capture of the the mountain. I especially like the moody dark tones, with layered lighter areas. Judging by the light halo areas inside the tree, I would guess that you darkened the sky. Comments by S Roter on Fri, 11/02/12 10:24 Majestic comes to mind. Comments by Sandi MacDonald on Fri, 11/02/12 14:41 It almost looks like a painting and I like the dark mood in it. Nice.;-) Comments by Michael Meek on Sun, 11/04/12 07:41 Thanks Jan, Ruth, Steve, and Sandi. Ruth, I did fiddle with the sky. I wanted to bring out the violet there. Here is a corrected version w/o the halos. Thanks for pointing that out. I gotta get better at this! Comments by Linda Frey on Mon, 11/05/12 15:14 Nice light on the mountain, and good fix.

Not for lack of eyesight was he made blind, No, instead his head was stuck up his behind.
