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!
11 0 ReplyTahoma 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 ❤️
6 0 ReplyOh 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.
3 0 ReplyNeat! 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

Great shot. I think it's so cool that people are using telephoto lenses on phones. What a time to be alive.
4 0 ReplyThank you! The telephoto lens (and camera in general) is like, 90% of why I bought this phone.
3 0 ReplyYou 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.

The frames a bit tilted, can someone lift it up a bit from one side please, thanks!
3 0 ReplyTacoma you mean? From where you took the shot of Mount Rainier?
2 0 ReplyThe 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.
