I took this photo of Mt Hood from above a couple of weeks ago.
If you look closely, you can see a couple other volcanoes in the background. Mt Adams, Mount St. Helens, and Mount Rainier are all close by.
The skies were beautiful that day, but at this time of the year they should be more cloudy and gray than blue. Snow accumulation on the mountain has been much lower than usual this season. This has affected winter recreation and all the other businesses associated with it. Fortunately, a recent storm system dumped a lot of snow on Mt Hood.

Breathtaking view.
Yes, it was ! 😁
The human footprint is devastating the natural order in ways which can't be repaired. The mountains of Himalayas in Pakistan are also going through the same.
Thank you for sharing this with my challenge 🙂
Glad you liked my sky picture, Hammad. Sorry, the Himalayas are also suffering from changes in climate.
That's a fantastic aerial shot!
Thanks, Sarah! I always try to reserve seats on the side of the plane with the best views. :)
wow very impressive scenery. You would like the Southern Alps near where i live.
Yes, it was. You're right, Amy, I probably would like the Alps!
