Description

NOTE: The Fine Art America watermark will NOT appear on purchased artwork.

This red metal roofed barn outside of Lynden, Washington sits on rich farmland with a beautiful view of Mount Baker. Many of the joys of the great outdoors in the Pacific Northwest come together in this impressionistic digital painting -- the spectacular beauty of the Cascade Mountains, country life, farming, and colorful seasons. 'Almost Heaven' seems a fitting title for the natural beauty surrounding this family farm.

Mount Baker is an active glaciated andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington state in the U.S. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount Saint Helens. About 31 miles (50 km) due east of the city of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Mount Baker is the youngest volcano in the Mount Baker volcanic field.

After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker is the most heavily glaciated of the Cascade Range volcanoes; the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker, 0.43 cu mi (1.79 km3) is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined. It is a very popular destination for skiers and snowboarders in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world. In 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area, located 14 km (8.7 mi) to the northeast, set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season￿1,140 in (2,900 cm).

At 10,781 ft (3,286 m), it is the third-highest mountain in Washington State and the fifth-highest in the Cascade Range, if Little Tahoma Peak, a subpeak of Mount Rainier, and Shastina, a subpeak of Mount Shasta, are not counted. Located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, it is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, and Greater Vancouver in British Columbia and, to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.
