On this otherwise fair summer morning, Mount Rainier wore a tight hat—a lenticular cloud cap occupying a standing wave that was forced by the big Cascades volcano. A separate and later zoom view reveals rime ice deposition from the cloud, high upon the volcano. A special morning, it was! We duly relaxed and took in the grandeur of the gorgeous scene at every scale, regardless of field of view.
