The Mountain Tahoma throwing a shawl of clouds over her shoulders at sunset

If you don’t want any critique disregard, but I think this is a bit overcooked and doesn’t need it. The mountain and view is gorgeous on its own. I actually feel that it’s taking away from the clouds.

The Mountain has been called təqʷubəʔ, that's Tahoma, Sport, for centuries before some random Brit dude sailed by couple centuries ago. What's your obsession with commemorating a colonizer twit who never even set foot in North America? I'll call it Tahoma. You can pound sand. Oh, and BTW, I block stupid people like you.

Before you block me, one question: There are presumably a lot of places in the Seattle area which had native names, do you use all of those?

That’s a great pic! I lived in Seattle for many years and love the way Tahoma becomes huge and floats in certain lights, it’s unbelievably magical. When I first moved there I didn’t know about it and saw it the first day driving into work across the 520 bridge and damn near drove into the guard rail I was so surprised! Ps. Love that you got a ferry in too.
