Postcard - Fall Reflections, Cascade Mountains

The Cascade Mountains of Western Canada host some of the world most spectacular mountain lakes. Here bright fall foliage and clear mountain air provide a breath-taking view of the stately peaks that are mirrored across the surface of the blue-cold lake. A place of both scenic and personal reflections. .....................................Wikipedia................................................ The Cascade Range (or Cascades) is a major mountain range of western North America, extending from southern British Columbia through Washington and Oregon to Northern California. The Cascades are part of the Pacific Ring of Fire, the ring of volcanoes and associated mountains around the Pacific Ocean. All of the eruptions in the contiguous United States over the last 200 years have been from Cascade volcanoes. The two most recent were Lassen Peak in 1914 to 1921 and a major eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. ........................................Artist....................................................
