Looking at a newspaper article about low emission zones, their benefits and the inexplicable reluctance of some cities to make use o them I was struck by this photograph. I have to say my first thought was that some sign writer was attempting to make it clear in mangled French for visitors to London. Who on earth are ‘Lez Ulez’ - bad heavy metal band or a famous standup comedian? 🤔🙄

Mount Rainier National Park today (Sunrise Mountain).

Here’s a view of Mount Rainier today from the Sunrise Visitor Center in Mount Rainier National Park. This camera is a seasonal camera (typically offline from late fall to late spring, depending on the weather). A lot of park visitors see Mount Rainier from Paradise (thus looking nearly due north to the mountain), while this camera is located at Sunrise and so it provides a view of Mount Rainier from the east/northeast. Sunrise is a wonderful place for walking! This image looks upslope through a group of green trees towards a still snow-covered mountain. The trees are conifers, tall and narrow in shape (foreground and lower half of the image). The mountain fills the center of the image. The mountain is generally white with snow, though some parts appear grey, either from shadows or as the result of the snow having melted to fill the seemingly countless watercourses that are found on the slopes of Mount Rainier. The sky is mostly clear and blue with a few clouds drifting in from the left just above the mountain.

Mount Rainier National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

Ascending to 14,410 feet above sea level, Mount Rainier stands as an icon in the Washington landscape. An active volcano, Mount Rainier is the most glaciated peak in the contiguous U.S.A., spawning five major rivers.

The beauty of Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park, thanks to the park staff and park supporters who keep these cameras operating! This image, from Monday morning, shows off early morning conditions on the lake: clear enough to see the rocks on the lake bottom and calm enough to show reflections of the colorful boats. In the foreground, two paddlers in a red and green vessel. To the left, a dock lined with silver and red boats. Green forested slopes can be seen on the left and right of the lake and a collection of distant mountains appears directly in the center. Above it all, a blue sky with white clouds forming on the horizon. There is indeed a hint of snow on the mountains, just below the clouds.
On the other side of the Continental Divide, the camera at Two Medicine (elevation 5194 feet / 1583 meters) is up and running again. This view shows off a large swath of brilliant blue sky, which fills the upper two-thirds of the image. A few very small white clouds can just be seen, as can the setting moon (directly above the peak in the middle). Below and in the foreground, a forest of (primarily) green trees, bright green slopes, a tiny sliver of a blue lake (most likely Two Medicine Lake), and several prominent deep brown colored mountains. The mountains have patches of snow here and there. The lake is wonderfully bright upon closer inspection! Thanks to the National Park Service and the Glacier National Park Conservancy for providing these images.

This is the view from Crater Lake National Park today. The blue color of the lake is remarkable. White clouds and multi-colored slopes are reflected, as are the green and tan colors of Wizard Island (upper left). To the right of Wizard Island is Llao Rock, also mirrored by the calm lake. In the distance, Mount Thielsen is just visible, mingling with the distant clouds (upper right). Thanks to the National Park Service for these incredible images.

Melting snow helps to power the flow of Yosemite Falls in this view from Yosemite National Park this morning. Of note is the blooming tree just below and to the left of the fall. This one appears to be the Pacific dogwood, which generally blooms in springtime (April, May). Here’s a quote regarding the Pacific dogwood from Robert W. Crippin (1960): “Flowers of the Pacific dogwood are unusual! The big, white ‘petals’ are in reality bracts. True dogwood flowers are actually crowded into a dense button in the center of these petal-like structures.” Source: NPS Yosemite Nature Notes
Sky color and sun angle play an important part in the creation of an image. This view of Yosemite Falls is from yesterday. In it, the blooming tree just below and to the left of the fall stands out more clearly from the surrounding scenery than in the previous view in this post. The tree appears to be a Pacific dogwood, which generally blooms in springtime (April, May). Here’s a quote regarding the Pacific dogwood from Robert W. Crippin (1960): “Flowers of the Pacific dogwood are unusual! The big, white ‘petals’ are in reality bracts. True dogwood flowers are actually crowded into a dense button in the center of these petal-like structures.” Source: NPS Yosemite Nature Notes. The tree and waterfall fill the center field of this image, surrounded by grey rock walls on the left and bright green conifers on the right. The sky above is generally grey. In the previous view, the blue sky is a welcome site, even if the play of sun and shadow tends to make the beauty of the creamy white dogwood bracts a bit more understated.

This is the view from Crater Lake National Park this morning. The surface of the lake appears to be quite calm, allowing for a wonderful display of reflected scenery and sky. In the foreground, the blue colors of the lake along with the delicate patterns of the nearby clouds. Wizard Island stands out on the upper left, with it’s green trees and snow patches clearly reflected on the lake’s surface. To the right of Wizard Island, Llao Rock is also mirrored by the calm lake. In the distance, Mount Thielsen stands out against the sky (upper right). Thanks to the National Park Service for these incredible images.

The view from Lassen Volcanic National Park today. Elevation 6700 feet, brilliant blue sky above, a line of mountain peaks and snow-covered trees just below, with a bright white foreground of snow. Shadows from the early morning sun give notice of buried park infrastructure: a bench on the left, decorative rocks on the right. Many of the trees wear a coat of snow, though the green needles underneath are indeed visible in this picture. Passing clouds complete the scene.

Beautiful blue sky over John Day Fossil Beds National Monument today. In the center of the image, a brilliantly colored hill topped by a pyroclastic deposit. A small white cloud drifts in the distance on the right. On the left, a tree leans into the scene, green needles spread against the sky. A fence, a road, and a grassy field appear in the foreground. A small building with an array of solar panels can be seen at the base of the hill on the left.

Blue sky, sunshine, and Half Dome in this view from Yosemite National Park yesterday. The trees in the foreground are green and free of snow. The geology of the park is visible in the middle ground, where sunlit slopes and rock walls can easily be seen. Half Dome is the prominent feature on the center right. In the distance, snow-covered mountains appear under a clear blue sky.
Snow is falling today in Yosemite National Park. The trees in the foreground are beginning to show an accumulation of snow, though some of the green is still visible. Geological features, evident in yesterday’s view, are obscured today by snow and clouds. Half Dome, which on a clear day would stand out prominently on the center right, is hidden entirely in this view from today. Snow piles up in the immediate foreground while the sky color is primarily grey and white. It will be interesting to see how much snow this storm leaves over the next few days.

Redwood National and State Parks roads and trails generally remain open to visitors. This sign is from the Kuchel Visitor Center area, which has been closed during the shutdown.

Redwood National and State Parks remain wonderful places to visit even during the current government shutdown. The NPS contingency plan provides detailed information regarding changes to visitor services, however, generally speaking, the roads and trails remain open, even as the visitor centers and associated parking areas are closed. This sign is from the access road to the Kuchel Visitor Center, which has been closed during the shutdown. That said, the surrounding areas are open and parking is available. Hope this helps you if you are planning a visit. (Sign on a red and white gate, with a road trailing off behind, all under a blue sky.)

This view, from the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, shows off a bit more of the amazing geology. Orange, red, tan, and black are among the colors present in the rocks, along with the green vegetation of the shrubs and trees on the slopes.
