Photoessay #2056 - Mountains

As I work here, mired in Maier--well I can sort of see the end of this paper, it's longer than I thought, already 11K words.  I think some of it can be cut.  It's just an endeavor.

How about a beautiful  picture of some northwest mountains.  We've got the rugged Cascades and Olympics.  But, amazingly, they are so much lower than the Sierra Nevadas.

I'm using Ilana's friend Erynn's fine pictures; she usually lets me use them so we'll call it good.  She does beautiful photography.  These look like the Olympics to me but what do I know!
