After quite a bit of rain, Mt, Baker finally peeked out of the clouds for a late afternoon shot.
She's back hiding in the clouds today!

Here's a different view of Mount Baker. This is taken from the pier in White Rock. The Autumn colour along the walk way adds nice to the shot!
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.

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.
The "Golden Gate beach" likely refers to Baker Beach, known for its views of the Golden Gate Bridge. Its history includes being part of the Presidio, a military base from the 1850s until 1997, where Battery Chamberlin, a historic disappearing gun emplacement, was built in 1904. The area was initially settled as the Golden Gate Milk Ranch in the 1850s by John Henry Baker and later became part of the Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

the iconic Mt Baker...in the USA...always presents a stunning backdrop for the Canadians..!!!...a bald eagle there too..sorry for the heat thermal distortion...
Got inspired by the photographer Chris Jordan to try to take a pano shot of something I'd otherwise take a normal photo of to boost the pixel count. I'm not sure if I've achieve what I wanted, but it is something I want to experiment more with.

I captured this image of this majestic mountain which lies in Washington State, USA right from my home, 100+km away, in Vancouver, Canada,
Mount Baker[...] is one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area [...] set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (2,900 cm).
At 10,781 ft (3,286 m), it is the third-highest mountain in Washington State[...]. It is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, British Columbia, Greater Vancouver, and, to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.
