Reply to comment by RVA_RVA in Does cold temperature make vistas more 'crisp' looking? by colorado_hick

It's definitely unsettling to see a mountain in the distance that's an hour drive away, as one would in parts of Colorado. Imagine getting off a boat in Portland, Maine, and having someone say "And if you glance to the west there, those are the White Mountains over in New Hampshire."

Lol, I live in the Seattle Area, you don’t have to glance in order to see mountains. You have the Cascades to the East and The Olympics to the West and they’re both more than an hour away.

Take the victoria clipper north sometime and stand on the rear deck watching Mount Rainier. As you leave Seattle, you see the city recede into a dot, but the mountain behind it doesn't appear to get any smaller. It's wild.
