Mt. Rainier and Hikers

This image of Mt. Rainier is interesting, I think, because of its scale. At first, the viewer sees the odd abstract patterns and thinks, what is this exactly? And then we see the hikers, small, diminutive figures, and we realize the massive size of what they are facing. Laurie and I hiked up into the snow line even though it was summer, but these hikers were still quite a ways ahead of us. I used a 400mm lens to get this. What do you think? Post a comment below.
