There was a particularly nice contrast of light and dark on Mount Rainier this evening due to the early summer snow melt causing the rocky slopes of the mountain to appear through the snow. The colorful light show in the sky and on the mountain was marvelous as the sun crept closer to the horizon in the west. After sundown, the yellow glow of the moon really started to shine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!-- Final Tiles Grid Gallery for WordPress v3.5.1 free --><style>#ftg-2929 .tile { border: 1px solid #ffffff;
