Early morning, late snow on Mt. Rainier

Unusually cool weather in the Pacific Northwest has delayed the snowmelt on the flanks of Mt. Rainier (a.k.a. Mt. Tahoma).  I left home in Seattle at 3am, only to find both upper and lower Tipsoo Lakes still covered in snow. Still, the sunrise was lovely.

    Great image, Mike. That isolated cloud hovering above the mountain is so typical of Rainier.
