Tuesday Dec 13. The many faces of Mount Rainier

Tuesday, December 13th, 2011

The below pictures were taken this morning, each 7 minutes apart.

My nephew suggested that I make up a calendar of my best pictures from my round the world voyage. I’d have a hard time with the selection. But by the time I move from Lisa and Harry’s view to Rose Marie and Donovan’s in the next week I might have 12 good photos of just Mt. Rainier alone.

Mt. Rainier (14200 ft/4328 m) is the second highest peak in the 48 contiguous States.  California’s Mt. Whitney (14494’/4418m) being the highest. I climbed both peaks. Whitney in my prime and Rainier in the seventies, led by my long time friend Pete Sabin. Pete and I had lunch at the Spar Tavern in Old Town Tacoma last week.
