Mt. Rainier

Mt. Rainier is a beautiful mountain located near Seattle, Washington. You can see it to the southeast on a clear day (I know, there aren't enough clear days in Seattle, see for yourself on this webcam view). It is actually over 50 miles away but frequent zoom photos like this one make it look like it is right outside the city. Here is an aerial view of Lake Union and downtown showing this. When I lived in Seattle I wasn't even concious of the mountain.
