Word of the Day: Inselberg

Inselberg sounds like a Scandinavian variation of iceberg. In actuality it means "an isolated mountain." You may think of Mount McKinley, Mount Doom, The Lonely Mountain...any mountain that is off by itself. Sorry, I'm still on a Tolkien kick. Today's mountain is brought to you by the Cascades. Sorta. You can see them way off in the distance from parts of Spokane, and that is how this picture was achieved. I don't know if it was really all that isolated, but the picture says it is, so I say it is. Behold, your inselberg. And all the teeny tiny windmills on top of it. My zoom lens is awesome.
