"The
Other Side of Paradise"
Mount
Rainier Nation Park - Washington
Mount
Rainier is one of the most spectacular volcanic peaks in all the Cascade
Range. On the southern side of the Mountain you will find the area
of Paradise with it's mountain views, world-famous wildflower meadows,
trails, visitor center, Inn and lots of
people. My favorite view of Rainier is Chinook Pass, just opposite
paradise on the Eastern slope. The raised elevation as well as
several lakes and meadows found here provide many outstanding
vistas. You will usually find a few people in the area at sunrise,
but the morning this image was taken I had it all to myself. The
morning fog and softly lit clouds over the peak provided one of the
prettiest Moments I have witnessed here. It appeared to me that
Paradise was totally fogged in the morning I captured this image.
Anyone there would not be able to see the mountain. Only I, on the
other side of Paradise was witness to this spectacle.
