The long shadow of Mt. Rainier | Bad Astronomy | Discover Magazine
Topic: Science 11:02 pm EDT, Oct 26, 2011

Phil Plait:

Mt. Rainier is a volcano, climbing to a height of over 14,000 feet (4300 meters). There are no other mountains anywhere near that height nearby, so it's really prominent in the landscape. The rising Sun catches the peak, and the shadow is cast on the underside of the cloud layer. The dramatic sunrise colors really make this an incredibly beautiful shot.
