Mt. Rainier over I5 near Seattle
There’s one brief spot on Interstate 5 driving south from Seattle with a great view of Mt. Rainier, where you have an unobstructed view of The Mountain, as the locals call it. Really, it should be The Volcano, but that’s another post. Yesterday the weather was changing and our beautiful mountain was wearing a hat for us, and even though it’s through the windshield, I thought you’d like to see this scenic vista, cars and all. And a side note: I believe the mountain is maybe 40 miles away as the crow flies. No long lens was used to make it look closer.
Visit Scenic Sunday, Skywatch Friday, Outdoor Wednesday, and A Piece of Heaven, if you have a minute. Thank you for stopping by here, and hope to see you again soon.
When I drive with my friend, Bill, I often take shots through the windshield of the truck. We call them truck shots. You are absolutely right that I appreciate this scenic vista, “cars and all.” What a dream to be driving into that glorious sky with the magical pot of gold (Mount Rainier) beckoning to us.
great shot! 🙂
I love this photo! I enjoyed all of the flower photos too, but this one is especially neat to me because I live where there are no mountains. It’s hard for me to imagine driving along the highway and seeing mountains! Beautiful!
