25 Earth Photos of the Week – Nov 28 to Dec 04, 2016

After many years of flying over a cloudy mountaintop, I finally caught Mt. Rainer peeking through the clouds on my flight back home. 

There’s a lot more to New York than the city. High Peaks, Adirondack Park, NY.

Finally made it to Iceland this year, Fjaðrárgljúfur was jaw dropping.

I stood here in the rain for half an hour, just watching the ocean. Waipi’o Valley Lookout, Hawaii, USA 

I went on a hike to Dog Mountain in a light snow. The fog added some mystery.
