Flying over Washington
On a recent flight to Southern California I pulled out my phone to snap a few pictures of the scenery below. Once again I sat on the wrong (that is, the right) side of the plane and thus missed the best photo opportunities of Mt. Rainier. (Note to self: it’s the LEFT side that gets you the close-up the Mountain.) Still you can’t go wrong flying over Washington and I captured a decent shot of Mt. St.Helens instead, yes the one that blew her top back in 1980.
After a wonderful week (record-breaking oven temperatures notwithstanding) I arrived back in the Evergreen state and took this picture shortly before landing at SeaTac.
Happy to be back in Washington, the land of the blue and the green.

Nice sky shots, Susanne. No reflections from the window, always a bonus. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.
Thanks Pete. Not too bad for using a phone through a window, thousands of feet above. I always love to see one of.the mountains and don’t recall ever getting a good shot of St Helen’s before.
The images from the air are always breathtaking!
Thanks John, so true! Especially with so many mountains to choose from around here! 🙂
It is so funny to see the hills that New Englanders call mountains! Everyone said we had to visit the White Mountains in New Hampshire. So we did. End of story.
There’s nothing like the Northwest for mountains! 🙂
