    Incredibly beautiful shots of an awe-inspiring volcano.

    Just to throw my spanner in the works, I was going to suggest that the mountain in question might just be Baker!

    In 2003, I went up Hood (as far as Timberline Lodge) and so am aware of its location in Oregon and, travelling from Portland to Seattle by train, I am sure we were able to see Baker, St. Helens and Rainer. Then, from the top of the Seattle Space Needle, Baker is visible on a clear day.

    OK! I admit I was in the area for less than a week, and some of you guys know it like the backs of your hands, but no-one has suggested poor ol' Baker and so I thought I should!

    Sorry Hamish but Baker is way north of Rainier. Its almost to the Canadian border. Nice try though.

    You are right of course, Heath, and I stand corrected.

    Thinks: I really must learn to check my maps before diving headlong into these topics!

    Stick to what you know best, Bicknell.....

    I love your photos. I only got as far as the visitors center. However, I don't think that is Mt Rainier in the background. I think that might be Mt Hood in Oregon.

    Great shots! You really are Retro Red! You look like a younger version of a professor I had, by the name of Séamas Ó Dochartaigh! Consider it a compliment as he was very cool. You wouldn't by any chance be related to Ó Dochartaigh/(O')Doherty clan?
