I have so many more I can share, let me know if you want to see more. I wish, but these are not my photos.


 

During an early morning sunrise in Tacoma, Washington, Mount Rainier can create an extraordinary natural spectacle—a massive shadow stretching across the sky.
When the rising sun is positioned behind the mountain, Mount Rainier can block the first rays of sunlight and project its enormous silhouette onto a layer of clouds above the horizon.
The result can look almost surreal, with the dark triangular shadow of the mountain rising into a sky filled with brilliant orange, pink, and golden morning light.
This unusual phenomenon is most likely to occur during late autumn and winter, when the Sun rises farther south and can align closely behind Mount Rainier. The right combination of clear visibility around the mountain and clouds at the correct altitude is also needed for the shadow to become visible.
From Tacoma and other locations across Washington's South Sound, photographers have captured this remarkable sight at sunrise.
It may briefly look like smoke or volcanic ash spreading from the summit, but it is simply the enormous shadow of Mount Rainier projected onto the clouds.
A mountain, a sunrise, and the perfect atmospheric conditions can combine to create one of Washington's most spectacular natural sights.
