I’m uploading today’s batch of pictures but wanted to get this one out as soon as possible:

Mount Baker as seen from the Top of Vancouver restaurant.

Until we were at the Top of Vancouver restaurant this afternoon, I had never even noticed Mount Baker on the southwest skyline of Vancouver; we’d always been more or less surrounded by buildings, except when up at Cypress Mountain and the visibility wasn’t great up there. From the 553 ft / 167 m height of the slowly-revolving restaurant, we got a terrific aerial view of the city and surrounding areas and I was surprised and shocked at the sight of this huge mountain dominating the horizon. I couldn’t tell how the picture would come out–it looked good on the D60′s tiny LCD screen, but you never know until you get it home–but once I saw this I knew I had to share it as soon as I possibly could.

So enjoy. Click the image for a much larger version. More soon.
