I have been seeing the above the past few days via Facebook. Even though this has been appearing for days the post has generated only one comment, that being...
"Very cool, must be view from Hurricane Ridge?"
Well, Hurricane Ridge is in Olympic National Park, at the north end of the Olympic Peninsula. From Hurricane Ridge I think there are only two, maybe three volcanoes one might be able to see. Mount Baker, Mount Rainier, and maybe Glacier Peak.
When flying to Washington it is when you start seeing the whitecapped volcanoes that you know you are getting close to landing at Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
The view in the above photo is looking north, from Oregon. That would make the volcano in the foreground Mount Jefferson, with the next volcano being Mount Hood. Then we cross the Columbia River to Washington, seeing three of Washington's five volcanoes, Mount St. Helens on the left, Mount Rainier in the middle, with Mount Adams on the right.
I don't know if this photo of Pacific Northwest volcanoes fits with the theme of Washington scenes which make me and Madame McNutty homesick for our old home zone. Seeing this didn't make me homesick.
I prefer to see scenery from ground level, not the bird view...
