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.

My favorite manhole cover is the one from China. I live in Washington and Mt Rainer is my favorite mountain Thanks, Jackie for another great blog..
Jacki, I love these manhole covers. They are so creative. Yes, please post more of them.
I also like to give compliments. Maybe because I was very shy when i was young and didn't say a lot of things which I'm now sorry for.
Have a good start into the new week.
Yesterday we had a special anniversary, so I didn't visit your blog. But today I read yesterday's blog. I liked it. Thanks.
Thanks so much, Marilyn. China's is great.Japan also has colorful covers, so I will probably do a blog of just their covers in the near future.
Thanks, Elenor. Yes, I have always been captivated my the manhole covers, and they have become quite creative in recent years. I will shoe more, and I have so many from Japan I will probably do one blog just on their covers? Yes, taking the time to earnestly compliment costs nothing and often mens a lot to the receiver.
I also enjoy the manholes you post. I've only once stopped to notice manholes on the street, and it was when I was with you in NYC. I don't know if I'd ever stop to notice them on my own, so I'll leave it up to you to post them in your blogs. :)
I thought of you yesterday while visiting our friend's beach house. Our friend sets out crackers and nuts on the railing of their patio railing. They've named several crows that regularly visit. Recently, a crow brought a shiny Japanese beetle on the railing for our friend, in exchange for some nuts. (Just like the story from one of your blogs!) Cool huh!
Wow! yes! I've only read stories, but have never known anyone you actually witnessed their giving. That is so cool. Not that you are a crow, but I will never forget when we were in Mexico at Mark's Mom's house, and you left and went to the grocery and brought back pastries. You were so young and thoughtful and I, a grownup never thought of it. It was a big lesson for me that I will never forget.
Thank you for sharing the pastry story. I guess we both have impressed each other with our thoughtful gestures over the years. :)
