mt. rainier

I took my M3 above my house to capture the sunrise clouds. I didn't realize until editing on the computer that I also caught the morning sun on the distant skyscrapers of Seattle on the skyline center of Lake Stevens, Mt. Rainier on the left, Olympic Mountains and Puget Sound on R. Pano captured...

My wife called me up from the basement last night to see the sunset that was starting. I barely had time to get the drone out and up to capture this. Skyline L-R: Cascades, Mt. Rainier, Olympic Mountains, Puget Sound
