7-photo photomerged panorama in Mount Rainier National Park

The above photo was taken on Monday, September 12, 2022. We were a bit fortunate on our trip to Mt. Rainier as the smoke situation got better, instead of worse, after we arrived on September 11. We thought about canceling but are glad we didn’t. That said, on Thursday of the same week, we did one of the most spectacular hikes in the park entirely in a cloud and, hence, couldn’t see much. A park volunteer said it was the worst day for visibility from the Sunrise Rim Trail Loop and Mount Fremont Lookout all year.

Tórshavn, Faroe Islands (July 2021)

The Skansin fort was built in 1580. The lighthouse was added in 1888, and the gun is British and dates to the second world war.

Why a fort in the Faroe Islands in 1580? Pirates! Today is “Talk Like A Pirate Day”.
