Mount Baker in Washington State stands tall in her winter finest. View from Sumas Way in Abbotsford, B.C. The odd clouds behind the peak was there for several hours this afternoon. Very ethereal!
From Artist's Point in Mt. Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest in Washington State a wide view of Mount Baker and surrounding peaks of the cascade mountains.
Mt Baker also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. (Wikipedia)
Mt Baker is located approx.. 150 km/ 93 miles east

The Forth Bridge is a cantilever railway bridge across the Firth of Forth in the east of Scotland, 9 miles west of central Edinburgh. Completed in 1890, it is considered a symbol of Scotland. It was designed by English engineers
Sir John Fowler and Sir Benjamin Baker
Construction started: 1882 Opened: 4 March 1890
Location: Edinburgh, United Kingdom, Fife
Total length: 2,467 m
Bridge type: Cantilever bridge
Longest span: 521 m
At the peak of work, about 4,600 men were employed in building the Forth Bridge. It said that 73 died during the building of the bridge,
The final rivet was hammered in by the then Prince of Wales standing on the bridge itself, in what must have been the safest working conditions anyone involved could have faced. It isn’t known if he was aware of the deaths of the men and boys doing that job, May the all Rest in Peace Amen
Lots of brilliant autumn color in the Mount Baker National Recreation Area. Sadly, Mt. Baker and the surrounding area was obscured by wildfire smoke.
Happy Saturated Saturday!

Mount Baker glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens. About 30 miles (48 km) due east of the city of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Mount Baker is the youngest volcano in the Mount Baker volcanic field. While volcanism has persisted here for some 1.5 million years, the current volcanic cone is likely no more than 140,000 years old, and possibly no older than 80–90,000 years. Older volcanic edifices have mostly eroded away due to glaciation.
After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker has the heaviest glacier cover of the Cascade Range volcanoes; the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker, 0.43 cu mi (1.79 km3) is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area, located 9 mi (14.5 km) to the northeast, set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (29 m; 95 ft).
Mount Baker is the third-highest mountain in Washington and the fifth-highest in the Cascade Range, if Little Tahoma Peak, a subpeak of Mount Rainier, and Shastina, a subpeak of Mount Shasta, are not counted. Located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, it is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, and Greater Vancouver in British Columbia, and to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.

This is an andesite flow from the Mount Baker volcano. As the lava cools down, it forms these hexagonal columns, aligned perpendicular in the lava flow.
Baker's Falls is a famous waterfall in Sri Lanka. It is situated in Horton Plains National Park. The height of the Baker's waterfalls is 20 meters.

As seen from the top of Table Mountain. Mount Baker is 10,781 feet high and is an active glacier covered stratovolcano. It's most recent eruption of new lava occurred 6,700 years ago. It is expected to erupt again, but eruption is not considered imminent.

This is 221B Baker Street, which is said to be the most famous street in Britain and around the world, and is reminiscent of the birthplace of detectives. Known for the addresses of Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson.

Baker Beach is part of the Presidio, which was a military base from the founding of San Francisco by the Spanish in 1812 until 1997. In 1904, it was fortified with disappearing gun installations known as Battery Chamberlin, which can still be viewed today.[3] When the Presidio was decommissioned as a U.S. Army base, it became part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area, which is administered by the National Park Service.
