Everything, big or small, creates shadows. But a mountain in America does not cast the shadow on the ground like other mountains, but shoots its shadow on the clouds.
Rainier is a giant volcano with a height of 4,392m.
It is about 87km southeast of Seattle, Washington state, USA .
No mountains around are as tall as Rainier.So it is one of the most prominent mountains in America.
On cloudy days, it dominates the southeastern horizon of the United States and people in Portland, Oregon, USA or Victoria, British Columbia province of Canada can see it.
But on the days when clouds covered the sky at low levels, people would see the shadow of Mount Rainier in the clouds.
The scene of Mount Rainier's shadow rising into the clouds only appears in the autumn and winter - the period when the sun rises further south.
In addition, the spectacle only appeared in the early morning, when Mount Rainier blocked the rays of the sun upward.
Rainier is currently one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world.A national park surrounds it.
