Either the foreground or the background would qualify as a pretty picture,
doing both is like chocolate and vanilla in the same bucket of
strawberries.



Unless I've mis-Googled, this is Mt St Helens from Ed Carlson ?


Ackshirley, Mt Rainier from McChord AFB (oops - "Joint Base
Lewis-McChord" now) near Tacoma, Washington - about 60 miles south of
my hometown of Seattle. Home base for the 62 AMW C-17's and some Army
folks.

Mt Rainier does make for a nice backdrop, and it is more well-behaved
tham Mt St Helens. For now.
