Nice view huh? I took this from my deck just a few days ago. It seems that the view changes almost daily...and when the sun shines on it, the mountain is an amazing sight. Hope you enjoy the view - Make sure you click on the photo for a larger image!From "NPS.GOV:
Mount Rainier National Park encompasses 235,625 acres on the west-side of the Cascade Range, and is located about 100 kilometers (50 miles) southeast of the Seattle-Tacoma metropolitan area. Mount Rainier National Park is approximately 97 percent wilderness and 3 percent National Historic Landmark District and receives approximately 2 million visitors per year.
At 14,410 feet, Mount Rainier is the most prominent peak in the Cascade Range. It dominates the landscape of a large part of western Washington State. The mountain stands nearly three miles higher than the lowlands to the west and one and one-half miles higher than the adjacent mountains. It is an active volcano that last erupted approximately 150 years ago.

In another lifetime (before children) I summited Rainier 5 times. Now, only memories, but this is a fabulous picture, David.
Thank you Manon, HeartFire, and Casey! Climbed it 5 times Casey? That's quite the accomplishment!
Wow! This is your view!? What an amazing sight to behold.... and what a beautiful photograph you made. I love the pushed color and painterly appeal.
