Mount Rainier rises beyond the trees.
A small patch of grass stands quietly in the water in front of me.

I stood there for a while watching the ripples move around it and just taking it in.

Tucked below the ridgeline, an alpine lake sits calm and untouched.
Moments like this make it easy to stay a while.

That was the destination of my hike of my previous pic - lake Oberer Gaisalpsee. While its counterpart some hundred meters beneath it is totally overcrowded during spring and summer, here you'll rarely meet lots of other people and you can enjoy the calm scenery nature provides.
