Photo Hunters ~ High

March 28, 2008 by Ellen

Mt. Rainier in the state of Washington is 14, 411 ft. high.

The base of the volcano occupies more than 100 square miles.

It is the 5th highest mountain in the lower 48 states (only 83 feet lower than California’s Whitney!).

It’s massive ice flows and violent winds are so similar to the biggest mountains that it is considered a training ground for McKinley and Everest itself.

Avalanches from the mountain have been known to travel 60 miles

Great choice for this week’s theme. I’m not sure I would care to live close to a volcano though! Happy WW

Love that mountain!

Is the volcano active or dormant? It’s scary to live near a active volcano.

High mountain… Brzzz… it’s real cold there. Maybe you did not notice it, you have lots of high flying planes there too

If you have the time, do check out my another interpretation at http://www.crizlai.com/ Thanks!

Oh, those are wonderful pictures! I thought of using one from a plane window, but none of mine are that good — or of a subject that high!!

I tend to say “No , Thank You” as often as possible, especially when it comes to living near a volcano! Yipes.

Absolutely Beautiful. I’ve been to Mt. Ranier. It amazed me how it could be so warm while hiking up a short distance to the snow.
Happy Photo Hunt! Mine’s up too.

There are also some high thin clouds in the first shot.

My goodness what a stunning view.

Great shots but I’m weary of the volcano.

Great shots! Happy Weekend!

Great photos and interesting the way you have juxtaposed the landed aeroplanes - which can be high - with the really high mountain.

Nice choice for the theme. Clever take on “high!”
on March 29, 2008 at 9:14 am30 Dragonstar

That’s big and powerful, as well as high. Thanks for all the information - it’s fascinating.

Great choice for this week’s theme.

Beautiful shots. I don’t think I’d be able to sleep too well, though, if I lived anywhere near that volcano. Have a great weekend!

The Alaska Airlines planes make me sentimental. I lived in Seattle for a year and travelled to Alaska. That is such a unique logo. Great picture of Mount Rainier.

Cool photo and beautiful mountain. I love the first photo across the plane’s wings. Have a blessed weekend.

“It’s massive ice flows and violent winds are so similar to the biggest mountains that it is considered a training ground for McKinley and Everest itself.” Really? I didn’t know that.

We’ve hiked at Paradise and other parts of the mountain many times. Nice to meet you neighbor!

Come visit me…
