Mount Washington is a deeply eroded volcano in the Cascade Range of Oregon. Made mostly of mafic (rich in magnesium and iron) volcanic rock like subalkaline basalt and basaltic andesite, it has a volcanic plug occupying its summit cone and numerous dikes.
The wilderness area is not heavily used, though it has a number of hiking trails. Wildlife is sparse in the region. Vegetation is mostly limited to pines and shrubs.
With an elevation of 7,795 feet (2,376 m) above sea level Mount Washington is located in Deschutes and Linn counties.
This image was taken on the east side of the mountain which has a different look than the more popular north side images.
Here's the second shot of our winter outing yesterday. The Sea to Sky Series.
A view of the mountains south of Mt Baker in Washington. Viewed from 0 Ave in Aldergrove.
A slide restoration which brings us back to Washington in October 1971. It's a great selection of cars parked up.
Taken from the cog rail of Mount Washington in New Hampshire. This was during fall and there are varied fall colours on the mountains. Mount washington by itself has very little color to display. On a side not, it is officially the worst weather in the world.
A couple of weeks ago I got in my car and took a 4.5 hour drive to the Palouse Region of SE Washington. The Palouse is a region with crops all over rolling hills and many abandoned towns and farms along old dirt roads. I spent most of the day driving along the dirt roads and enjoying the countryside.
The Washington Monument, designed in the simple shape of an ancient Egyptian obelisk, was built in honour of George Washington. Constructed between 1848 and 1884 it was the tallest structure in the world at the time of completion, until the construction of the Eiffel Tower in France in 1889. The monument however remains the world's tallest stone structure and the world's tallest obelisk, standing 554 feet 7 11/32 inches (169.046 m) tall. It has an aluminum apex, which at the time of casting was the largest piece of aluminum in the world with Aluminum being relatively unknown having a value similar to silver. The slight change in shading of the marble at 46m (150ft) came from a halt in construction between 1854 and 1877 due to lack of funds and the civil war with construction eventually resuming from a different source of stone. National Mall, Washington DC, United States of America. Took this shot this evening, so its a rare post for me to share the day it was taken!

I wasn't sure exactly how to level this. With the ground? With the leaning house? I chose the former.
I was also unsure if I could make this work with the 270mm lens. But thankfully the road was wide and I had time.
There was a great deal of wind too. Like a lot. And maybe some of that translates to the image. But I wanted to take the photo and the wind was part of the experience. What was I supposed to do? Not photograph? Ridiculous.

Mount Washington is the highest peak in the Northeastern United States at 6,288.2 ft (1,916.6 m) and the most topographically prominent mountain east of the Mississippi River.
The Mount Washington Cog Railway (1869) ascends the western slope of the mountain, and the Mount Washington Auto Road climbs to the summit from the east. The mountain is visited by hikers, and the Appalachian Trail crosses the summit. Other common activities include glider flying, backcountry skiing, and annual cycle and running races such as the Auto Road Bicycle Hillclimb and Road Race.

The state of Washington's second highest peak, at 12, 289 feet. It rises 8,000 feet above it's surrounding lanscape. (Deschutes River Recreation Area IMG_5097.jpg)
With runaround complete, the L100 prepares to couple onto its train. The steeple for St. Joseph's German Catholic Church dominates the background.
Autumn golden sunset (with a bit of smoke).
The US Pacific Northwest contributes a huge amount of the nation’s produce. Harvest season - Autumn or Fall if you prefer - is also a time of wildfire smoke impacting the human, animal & plant life of this area.
Washington grows 8B pounds (3.63B kg) of the 11B pounds of US apples produced in 2025 & has been the leading apple-growing State since the early 1920s.
In fact, WA leads also in pears, raspberries & blueberries - and has a significant grape harvest.

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.

The classic design of architect David Burnham of the elegant Union Station in Washington DC can be seen in the this image with this corridor of Bethel white granite from Vermont archways that lead ones eye to the end. Once swampland to the east of Capitol Hill, a joint effort of the Pennsylvania Railroad (PRR) and the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad (B&O) it opened in 1907 and was completed in 1908 in beautiful neoclassical Beaux-Arts architecture with many Greek and Roman elements.
