The Cascade and Coastal Mountains offer unsurpassed natural beauty in the Pacific Northwest especially in the evening hours when the mountains and hills are tucked in for the night with a soft blanket of haze. All that's missing is a lullaby.

The 112 cars of Union Pacific Portland-North Platte manifest freight MPDNPB 25 head upriver along the wide blue waters of the Columbia near Celilo, OR, on the aptly named Columbia River Subdivision. In a few short moments, the train will cross the Deschutes River as it approaches the confluence between the two large waterways. With two busy railroad lines, a major interstate highway, and a prominent waterway, the Columbia River Gorge serves as a major artery for freight transportation into the Pacific Northwest. Sharp-eyed observers will spot a BNSF garbage train tied town across the river on the Fallbridge Sub.

Williamstown, Massachusetts.
Williamstown is a town in Berkshire County, in the northwest corner of Massachusetts. It shares a border with Vermont to the north and New York to the west. It is part of the Pittsfield, Massachusetts Metropolitan Statistical Area. The population was 8,424 at the 2000 census. A college town, it is home to Williams College, the Clark Art Institute and the Tony-awarded Williamstown Theatre Festival, which runs every July and August.
Originally called West Hoosac, the area was first settled in 1749. Fort West Hoosac, a blockhouse and stockade, was built in 1756. The town was incorporated in 1765 as Williamstown after Ephraim Williams, who was killed in the French and Indian War. He bequeathed a significant sum to the town on the condition that it were named after him and started a free school. In 1791, the school opened, becoming Williams College in 1793.

It's National Volcano Week (Feb 5 - 11, 2023), so I thought I'd post an image of a serene Mount Rainier towering over the landscape. Considered "episodically acrive," this volcano is also ranked #2 with a USGS volcanic threat hazard category of Very High, due to it's proximity to communities, people, and property.
On this day, though, everything was sunny and tranquil.

Pacific Northwest is never short of waterfalls. Winter and spring are the best seasons to witness their furry. By summer she won’t be so overfilled with H2O
