Snow conditions suck, but the views are totally worth the cost of the lift ticket #mtbaker

A very snowy Kulshan (Mt. Baker) and Seattle Space Needle last night as seen from West Seattle.

The image features the Seattle Space Needle in the foreground, with snow-capped mountain in the background under a cloudy sky. The scene captures a blend of urban and mountainous landscapes during sunset, with soft lighting highlighting the peaks.

Washington Baker Mountain & Lake Postcard

This vintage postcard shows a peaceful nighttime view of Mount Baker as seen from Baker Lake in Washington. The snow-covered mountain rises quietly against a deep blue sky illuminated by a full moon. Wisps of clouds drift across the moonlight, adding a dreamy, almost painted quality to the scene. Below, the moonlight reflects in a long shimmering streak across the still surface of the lake, creating a mirror-like effect. Dark pine trees and mountain slopes frame the lake, silhouetted in near darkness, while a faint glow of color on the right edge gives a sense of quiet habitation or firelight. The image captures the calm and grandeur of the Pacific Northwest at night—majestic, remote, and serene.

My parent-in laws decided to go on an impromptu ferry ride/mini road trip to the mainland and got this stunning picture of Mt. Baker at sunrise somewhere in the Fraser Valley! ⛰️

A picture taken from the car window shows low clouds highlighted orange by the rising sun like fire. It is mixed in with blue hues of the sky, and in the background, the clouds break a little, revealing gray blue colours approaching the mountain line in the distance where Mount Baker rises to a point with snow flying off the top of it. The bottom of the picture is a layer of Greenfields heals, extending and slowly rising towards the mountain.

a picture of the ocean with a distant shore in an overcast pink and orange morning

there's a single ship in the water, and in the distance almost as part of the clouds is the mountain Kulshan aka Mt Baker

Last week I spent the whole week offline. This week Im feeling it's the best thing Ive done for my mental health in a long time. This is your online reminder to take offline breaks; enjoy the natural world!

I truly value staying connected with you all globally, but there is something unnatural for sure receiving so much of a negative news feed. Being based in the US, in the current dumpster fire it is, it's been interesting connecting, reading & seeing more global perspectives on Mastodon, and the fediverse overall. I am around a diverse enough group of people locally, offline, to recognize how much varying information we receive based on where we choose to look. This community is playing an important role in shaping the future voices to be in the world. Thank you for being here.

Photos are from recent attempt to summit Mt Baker. Furthest I have solo ski climbed on glacial terrain this late in the year. Strong wind pushed me back, varying dense clouds circled around, found enough reasons to turn around. Words I found as a kid "respect the mountain, the mountain will respect you." Remember to carry that which you value into the future. Cheers to the future we will bring!
