To join the Mt. Rainier bandwagon, I shot this view last Thursday in the early evening. The flowers in this meadow were quite profilic, albeit blowing a bit, and made a nice foreground for Rainier. There were so many mosquitos, that I was afraid they would fly into the camera when I changed lenses.

Harald,
Nice and pleasing to look at image. Did you get any shots closer to sunset with a little warmer light? I bet the mosquitos had a say in how long you hung around.

Erik,
Thanks for looking. Not much later it started to get hazy, so we started the steep hike back down while it was still light. Got some shots of a creek with lewis monkeyflowers in the somewhat warmer light shortly after. It was beautiful up there despite the bugs.

Great find...I didn't see much paintbrush within the frame of a good comp, so I can appreciate your find here.
