Mount Rainier Lenticular Sunset

Earlier in the day, I'd noticed some lenticular clouds above The Mountain. Later, I was on my couch taking trying to take a nap but couldn't relax knowing that these fantastic clouds might be hanging out. I grabbed my photo gear and headed to my go-to Mt. Rainier spot. I wasn't disappointed, as the lenticulars were still there. I was lucky, they faded away soon after I arrived and as the sun set.

 

I love the solitude. It's better if I've hiked or climbed for most of the day to reach a spot from which to photograph, write in a journal, and think for a spell, but even 20 seconds off of a main road will do nicely.
