West Coast Trip Day 10
I'm back home to LA! We took a 6:40 am flight out of SEA-TAC and FINALLY got to see some volcanoes. In Portland, Mt. Hood was nowhere to be seen and in Seattle and Enumclaw we never saw Mt. Rainier. Seeing them from the plane, towering out of the cloud bank was very impressive. Because it was morning, they were backlit and I couldn't get a decent shot photo. I did manage to catch the early sun reflecting off the Columbia River, though. This view is somewhere just East of Mt. Hood. Edited a bit to make up for shooting out of the plane window, like adding a lot of contrast.
I'll be sure to post other pics (especially non-iPhone ones) of the trip when I get a chance.
