Thanks for posting those Matt -- it's especially cool when the peaks are ones we're familiar with.

Ok, actually I don't know if it's an island. |
It is Smith Island. Hudsons Bay Company crew named it. Watch for interesting bird-critters but steer well clear (shoal, reef).

Thanks Snowbrushy.
Earlier, I studied the topo too hard and could only find Dungeness Spit as a potential match but knew it was too far away.
Upon reading your post, I went to back into Topo to look for Smith Island and Viola! It's right there and obvious. Guess I was searching too much west and not enough south.

Mirage Mountains
Here's a more detailed photo of the weird "Superior Mirage", as seen from near Artist Point, on Saturday 12/03/11. I was puzzled when I first caught sight of these incredibly interesting looking peaks....I know this area well, and couldn't figure out what these peaks were...until I shared them with a co-worked, who said "WOW", Where did you get this photo!
My appologies in advance if the image fails to load...I have it posted on facebook at:

Looking out towards the Olympics the same day, from the summit of Vesper. "Those don't look normal" was the thought that went through our heads.

Great photo Steph!
BTW - I've admired your photos for a few years at least! You have some fantastic shots that are inspirational. It must have felt great to summit Vesper after all you've been through...
I had a bad accident on Mount Ruth in 2003, and have yet to re-visit that peak.

I saw that phenomenon in Montana one cold winter day when I was a kid. A neighbor pointed out a bluff way across the river that wasn't actually there. It had to do with the air temp. Haven't seen it since. Cool pictures!

I experienced that on a trip years ago. I figured it was an acid flashback. Glad to hear there's a rational explanation.

I got some good inversion pics of the Olympics from a trip to Wallace falls last spring.

Awesome! That's really cool. Even when you know why it happens, it's still impressive to think about lens effects on a scale far larger than any lenses most of us deal with. (Ok, maybe an astronomer wouldn't be impressed... )

Now you get to write the guidebook.
I have a recurring dream of incredibly detailed peaks just east of Seattle, like Dr. Zeuss on acid in Patagonia.
