Thanksgiving Morning Flying Over Seattle Electrically


I saw that which you see above this Thanksgiving morning on CNN online in an article about new carbon neutral electric powered planes. 

At first glance I did not recognize the mountain in the background. Then I looked at the foreground and thought is that Seattle? Then looked at the caption which confirmed this was Washington I was looking at. 

The low clouds are covering Lake Washington. The water under the plane is Lake Union. The water at the far right is Elliott Bay. Seattle is pretty much surrounded by water and mountains.

This view of Mount Rainier is more realistic than the ones one usually sees, with the mountain zoomed in to look closer to Seattle.

This photo should help geographically challenged Thelma McNutty have a better understanding of how close Mount Rainier actually is to Seattle...
