Shot on a Pixel 8 Pro, telephoto lens.
Tahoma is more commonly known by the coloniser name of Mount Rainier.
til that tahoma is actually a mountain and not just a font.
can't wait to see pics of the peak of times new roman, now!
Tahoma is the origination of the name from the Puyallup with variants Tacobet, Takhomat.
Puyallup can be pronounced Pü-al-up, or Pooey-loop; depending on if you live there or go to a rival school

Edit: beautiful shot ❤️
Oh is Puyallup the name of a group? I've seen it on maps and always wondered about it because it looks soooo much like an indigenous australian place name from the southwest of Western Australia.
The 'up' suffix is a common place marker in some Noongar dialects, so it's very common in town, suburb or neighbourhood names. The rest of the word fits so well as well. For example there's a Mullyalup, which is pretty dang close.
Neat! Puyallup tribe, yup. Now home to the Western Washington Fair, the largest state fair on the west coast!
Fun fact: it was built on the site where we housed the Japanese US citizens in WWII internment camps, even though they were US citizens.
...maybe not so much a fun fact
Tribe, got it! And it looks like they're Salishan speakers - that's an incredibly interesting language family.
The PNW had a very rich tribal history

Unfortunately (fortunately??) the city quit being smelly long before I moved here. My roommate who has lived here since the 90s remembers it though!
Great shot. I think it's so cool that people are using telephoto lenses on phones. What a time to be alive.
Thank you! The telephoto lens (and camera in general) is like, 90% of why I bought this phone.
You just sold me on getting this phone. I got a Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra now that I've regretted since Day One. First and definitely last Samsung phone forever.
I'm a big wilderness freak, so this photo makes me sad, almost angry. But at the same time I awe at nature remaining the dominant focus. It's excellent juxtaposition of natural beauty dominated by ugly industrialisation, with really good framing setting that off.
Great job 👍
Ty for the kind words. Maybe you'll like this one better. :)
Ooo, yup. That's a beauty 👍
The frames a bit tilted, can someone lift it up a bit from one side please, thanks!
A bit of dehaze on the mountain maybe ? It's hard to see
Otherwise great shot !
Tacoma you mean? From where you took the shot of Mount Rainier?
That's Mount Tahoma, in California
The irony of you trying to be contrarian is that Tacoma is still derived from the native name. Good luck finding a coloniser name for our city.
