Why, that's almost...pretty!

I am one of the first to malign the scenery of the Tri-Cities area.  While Washington is a state of GREAT natural beauty, and the nearby Palouse. and Columbia, and Yakima, and Blue Mountains are very scenic, the Tri-Cities itself are fairly flat...and brown. 

Today, when I walked out work, I was treated to this view of Rattlesnake Mountain.  With the clouds and a thin fresh layer of snow, it was actually kind of picturesque. 

 

 

With it's only claim to fame being the totally unsubstantiated fact that it is the talles treeless mountain in the world, Rattlesnake Mountain can use all the help it can get in the 'scenery' department.
