#22 Mount Rainier and its Shadow

On Dec 13, 2011 I went to photograph the sunrise and was stunned, amazed and dancing with what I captured! This is Mount Rainier, in Washington state, with it's shadow reflected into the sky! This is a rare occurrence. You must have the break at the horizon, the cloud bank and of course the mountain to see this wonderful site. It started out as a perfect upside down reflection in the sky but then, as the sun came closer and closer to the horizon, the shadow moved more and more to the side. It went away but then it came back completely to the side. Then the shadow moved down the mountain until the sun hit the horizon at which time it bathed the mountain in gold. Awesome, just awesome! If you'd like the image on a product that is not available just let me know and I'll create it for you. Of course the Zazzle watermark will not be on your finished product.
