New at Rosetta Stones: Mount Baker At Last! Plus, a Genuine Watercolor

I’ve got the preliminary findings from our maiden voyage to Mount Baker up at Rosetta Stones for ye. You’re gonna love it.

You may also love this photograph of Mount Shuksan:

Looks sorta like a watercolor, doesn’t it just? It sorta is: this is Mount Shuksan as reflected in a lovely little tarn on Mount Baker Highway.

It’s the real thing – I’ve just played a bit with the brightness and such. Here’s the untouched version:

Okay, and I flipped it right-side up, too. See it in its non-reflected glory at Rosetta Stones, and find out why it’s really actually green.

    Lovely! We used to visit Mt. Baker frequently but haven’t done so in a long time. We’ll have to go back.,

    That view of Shuksan over the tarn was once listed by Kodak as one of the most photographed scenes in the US. You can see why! When you see Washington State calendars, it’s pretty much always in there. Sometimes twice, with one image reversed. And not infrequently labeled “Mount Baker”. I’d guess a lot of tourists think it’s Baker as well.

    I had no idea that Shuksan was SO much older than Baker! You’ve provided today’s learning experience.

    And I haven’t even gotten in to the layers of Mazama ash,
