Amazing Morning Sky: Mount Baker in the Background


I just thought I should share this Sunrise shot from my house on Sehome Hill (Bellingham).   The sun  is coming up over the Cascades and a number of different clouds.   There are two unusual ones near our local volcano, Mount Baker. Moisture from snow (which came down in a storm the day before) on Mount Baker (10,781 feet high) was wicked away with the cold- still night air.  It formed a lenticular cloud over the summit.  Moisture from a hydrothermal vent in Sherman crater it created the billowing cloud to the right of the summit.
