Over my time here at Caedes I have posted several photos of Mt. Washington, such as here and this one. I got this shot over the weekend while up in the mountains nearby. When I first moved here over 30 years ago this mountain had a coat of snow all year long and there were glaciers visible in the summer. They have all disappeared and it's just a rock pile during the hot summer months these days. More snow will coat it over the next several months, but it's just not the same. I believe climate change is real. Somewhere in the High Cascades of Oregon, USA.

I'm glad you were able to capture it in its raw state. The textures and colors are great Ted.

---I believe climate change is real---

I agree with you with more than 100%, Ted. It is a pity that your Mr. president is not convinced of this.

To me however, your fine capture is another 'writing on the wall'!

In 1850 there were 150 glaciers in Glacier National Park. In 1968 there were 83. When my wife and I visited there in 2010 there were 25 left with only one, Jackson Glacier, visible from the Going-To-The-Sun Highway. I hope to get back there before 2030 when the last glacier is estimated to disappear. With our children and grandchildren looking forward to city-size icebergs calving in the Arctic, storms of increasing intensity, higher temperatures, microscopic plastic embedded in our fish, and a 270,000 ton island in the Pacific, three times the size of France... I have to wonder if we will ever be able to reverse what we are doing to our planet. I recommend that all of you read the new book by Yuval Noah Harare, titled Sapiens. The majority of human history saw our development crawling along (70,000 years ago) until the Scientific Revolution (500 years ago). I believe that we are quickly pushing our planet and our virtual existence to a point of no return. Perhaps if we read his other book, 21 Lessons for the 21st Century, we can figure out how to slow it down? In the meantime, photography is one way to remind us what we value and what we are losing. Despite the loss of snow and ice, this is still a majestic scene, Ted.
