July 13, 2013 - Suspended Mountain

























Mount Rainier appears to hover on a layer of clouds above the Seattle skyline.  The Space Needle and buildings of downtown Seattle are across Puget Sound, 15 miles away from the ferry dock in Kingston where this picture was taken.  The 14,410 foot high active volcano is another 50 miles beyond that, with its base firmly planted in the ground.  The mountain is an icon in the western Washington landscape.  On a clear day, it can be seen from Canada to Oregon.
