Rhododendrons Mount Hood

In another tranquil photograph featuring flowers, this time we have a scenic vista of rhododendrons spread out in a field before Mount Hood in Oregon. This is a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle by Big Ben that shows the highest point in Oregon and the fourth highest peak in the Cascade Range. Mount Hood is considered the Oregon volcano that is most likely to erupt, although based on its history, an explosive eruption is deemed top be unlikely. At over 11,000 feet, or almost 3,500 metres, Mount Hood is very high, and the snowy mountain peak rises beautifully prominent from an extensive area of more lowly elevated land. The areas of comparatively similar tones made this a relatively easy jigsaw puzzle to assemble. Once the mountain filled sky was completed, followed by the far timberline and yellow flowers in the forefront, it was already easily half done. Then to finalise the lovely clustered pink rhododendrons only slowed the pace, not the pleasure.
