Eastern Windows : Lake Stevens, Mt. Pilchuck, and the Cascades

I am currently very lucky to be living in a house with an astounding view. Every now and then, I take a look out the front windows and find a view that is stunning, and I have to grab my camera and start taking pictures.

Mt. Pilchuck and the Cascased over Lake Stevens.

Individually, these photos are not much more than that: snapshots from the front deck. Together, though, they show the volatility of the landscape in this area between the mountains, Lake Stevens, and the Puget Sound.

Much of the time, the mountains across the lake are completely obscured by clouds, but on rare occasions, wind will blow the clouds and haze away, leaving the mountains crisp and clear. But even when the sky is full of clouds, it can be breathtaking.
