Carolyn and our local friend Jessie went to a King Tut show at the Pacific Science Center the other day while I wandered around shooting. A ride to the top of the Space Needle was in order. Although the day was cloudy, like it usually is here, the ceiling was high and Mt. Rainier was in full view. I took this shot from the Needle's top.
The mountain is often covered in the mists. When it's clear, locals sometimes say "Rainier is out today!" It is a monstrous beauty. Still an active volcano, it has the potential to devastate the Seattle area.
We spent part of yesterday afternoon at the Seattle Art Museum with Kim, proprietor of Seattle Daily Photo. She's been on sabbatical but promises to return soon with resurrection of the portal. Good thing. She's a gifted photographer. Meeting our City Daily Photo colleagues around the world has been one of the great pleasures of this project.
The bottom shot is from our hotel room window. Home late tonight.

Lucky you, I've never seen Mt Rainier from the Space Needle. Seen it loads but not from up there...
Home in time to root for the Cardinals!!
Bob, truly a treat to meet you and Carolyn at the market yesterday! Thanks for looking for me and for your positive support of my new lampworking path!

Certainly a mountain I'd like to have a run at someday for myself. Beautiful shots!
The space needle sure gave you a top perch for this wonderful shot.
Mt Rainier likes a bit on Mt fuji in Japan on this photo. Nice shot.
Beautiful photos. Interesting name - Rainier- wonder what the story is behind the name. Name of Monaco's late prince of course, married to Princess Grace.
@Jilly: it was named after an admiral named Rainier by Captain Vancouver, who was the first European to see it.
