On my return flight from Orlando, we came closer to Mt. Rainier than I can recall in a lot of flying. The pilot called the sight to our attention, but he didn't need to; it was amazing and everyone was looking and taking pictures. The mountain was right there. I was on the correct side of the plane for optimum view.
I appreciated the captain's initial description of Washington's signature peak as Mt. Tahoma (the natives' name). He also noted that GPS technology recently determined a more precise measurement of its majestic height: Rainier is 14,411 feet.
My shot does not do this justice, but here it is anyway.
I like the shot with the orange color on the horizon.
