One of my favorite views is driving north on I-5 in Seattle just before the 520 exit, when the sun is low and casts a shadow of my vehicle on the imposing freeway wall to my right, looking out over lake union, past the ships and waterways of Fremont to catch a glimpse of the snow peaked Olympic mountains.

Driving into Seattle over lake Washington two weeks ago, the Olympics were shining, the mountain was out, and then driving home the sun was setting on the cascades.

Beauty is everywhere here if you're looking for it.
