	Hasn't voted	Looks like one of the Trinity Peaks, a dark pyramid. But there's one just visible behind it and right, and what's the big one in the background?

	Voted 10/10	Without pulling out the map I'll say Storm King?

	Hasn't voted	Storm King is east of the Trinity group (left) and thus not in the picture. Just barely visible to the right of Trinity would be part of Sunshine, and the big mountain next to the right would be Eolus (north).

The difference in snow cover between summer of 1983 and 2002 is striking. Great picture.

Aaron, What month did you take this picture. My guess is late June.
