Can you see Mt. Hood from Council Crest?

View from Council Crest Park toward Mt. Hood, which luminesces in the silvery sunlight filtered through high altitude clouds of ice crystals. The kind of sky we called a “snow sky” when I was a kid in Nebraska. It feels like snow. A fierce Arctic wind blows from the east to northeast, bringing the windchill to 5° F. Tears are frozen to my cheeks. In the foreground my cyclocross racing bike (with fat “gravel” tires) leans against a 3ft. decorative wall. The Douglas firs in the near midground groan under the strain of 30mph wind. I have sweat too much working to get up here today, that sweat will cool on the descent and I’ll arrive home with fingers and toes so numb that I perceive them not so much as cold as being pierced or crushed.
