Mount. Si in the Early Morning

A couple of weeks ago I got up nice and early went looking for elk, unfortunately the elk were not very impressive, but the ground fog was very impressive. I took these shots of Mount Si in and around the Meadowbrook farm. Si from certain angles has a bit of an Uluru (Ayers Rock) look about it.
By the way, Mt Si is a remnant of an oceanic plate volcano and named after "Uncle Si" Josiah Merritt. Ol' Josiah built a cabin at the base of the mountain back in 1862 and farmed pigs and veggies. Josiah was a rugged fella that enjoyed playing the fiddle, also had two wives, "Aunt Sally," who was back east and an Indian woman. When Aunt Sally came out west the Indian wife had to split.
Anyway here are a few photos.
Enjoy
