This gives you a little slice of the big picture/perspective. Just like "me and Loretta" in Hello In There, we have "an apartment in the city" and we like living here. :D

Bellingham Bay is in the foreground with Mt. Baker bringing up the rear, 30 miles due east. :wink:

Nice backdrop . . . you apparently have an unusual variety of terrain available nearby, from shore to mountains. 8)

We have a team-relay race every year on Memorial Day weekend to show off that "variety of terrain" in fact. It's called Ski to Sea and starts at the ski area and winds its way down and across the bay, with a series of legs: XCountry ski, downhill ski, 8-mile run, road bike, canoe, mountain bike, and kayak to the finish line. First team's kayaker to ring the big bell is the winner!

Beautiful place, love that mountain. Our mountains (in the hills of Virginia) might be as high as your foothills.

Nice shot Joe. I always thought you lived in a house, in the woods 8) But from the looks of it no matter where you reside in that pic, it's all woods.

Awesome environment, Joe. Did you have a hospital appointment today? Just read something about you parting with some guitars????

Thanks Ken, that's what I keep telling everybody! :wink:

Yes on the hospital visit (check the post about going "into the tube") and yes on the parting with some guitars.
One down, two to go!

It's all good,
Joe

Great pic!

My inlaws lived for many years across the Sound in Port Ludlow, WA. Their home was on the water and looked right at Mt Baker. Gorgeous part of the world!

Here in Lago, CA we are proud of our local train station:
