Description
...Glacier Peak, in the Mt. Baker National Forest, is the nearest volcano to where we live. It is about 45 miles (72 km) away as the crow flies.
...this is a photo of the western slope topped by late afternoon clouds. It was taken looking east from Arlington, Washington (the same location as my last three uploads).

quite beautiful
T he clouds look like rising smoke, nice photo.
Wonderful capture of this beautiful volcano I love it! I live within viewing distance of Mt Hood, Mount St. Helens and Mt Adams and if I'm in the right location, I can see all three at once
love that cloud there. cool shot
Wonderful shot, and I love those clouds boiling up over it...gorgeous!
It could be a dangerous neighbor.I hope that it behaves itself.A fine shot.
What an absolutely gorgeous place.
Maybe one day ... she go boom!
wouldn't like a 'real' vulcano as my neighbour but the scenery is hard to beat... what a stunning place!!! love the clouds above it, fantastic image!!!
wonderful scene
When mountains and volcanos are far enough away they are less depressing than close too! Lovely pic.
Amazing capture Bill. God Bless.
All that's missing is the Mustang flying accross!!
Oh, oh! I first thought Mt. St. Helens, but that wasn't so neighborly in the positive sense. I like the way the clouds form a "crown" over the peak, almost as though something's going on. But, 45 miles is a rather short distance considering the power of something like this erupting (Mt. St. Helens still in my mind). I've experienced earth quakes ("shake 'n bake"), fire, flooding (not tsunami type, fortunately) and some other catastrophes, but... thank goodness, not a volcanic eruption. So, in case of emergency, I sincerely hope you and Tara are at a safe distance. The sun light on the snow really brings out the steep sides against the blue-gray haze surrounding the peak. Keep up the good work! :-)
what a majestic sight
Awesome view Bill, very very impressive indeed! Doesn't seem to be 45 miles away.. Stunning shot.. Rob
I love the different layers of this image Bill. It provides visual interest from top to bottom! Well done friend!
Beautiful scenery, lovely capture!!
It is a masterpiece. 5+! I thank you very much.
Wonderful capture of this very beautiful landscape!!
VERY BEAUTIFUL IMAGE
mighty!
Oh, I was expecting Mt St Helens, but this is even better. Cool contrast of the dark foreground against the powder blue effects of the beautiful volcano and sky in the distance, Bill.
By no means one could relax when visiting this mountain even if it looks friendly. Beautiful shot. Aloha
You live in a beautiful area.
A breathtaking shot, Bill.
Great capture and an ominous looking cloud. I'm glad it is only a cumulus. When we used to fly along the cost at 10,000-ft plus, and it was rainy and/or cloudy and the weather was miserable on the ground, the peaks that were usually visible were Mt. Baker, Glacier Peak, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, and Mt. Shasta. Mt. St. Helens was usually hidden in cloud since it was a little less than 10,000 and it was Mt. St. Helens that provided all the fireworks in May 1980. From Everett Glacier Peak was hard to see and one had to know where to look and it appeared somewhat smaller than either Mt. Baker or Mt. Rainier, since they were both a little higher and a little closer, relative speaking.
Well, let's hope it remains neighborly.... What a great shot, Bill - just spectacular!
Great scenic view Awesome capture Hugs Susan~
wonderful landscape, looks great
