Anatomy of an eBook Part I

In my Kindle Kid's ebook Little Cloud, we are introduced to our main character when we see her floating up in the sky.  Where is she?  Turns out the reference for my artwork is based on a photo I shot at the top of Mount Walker, in Washington State, on a grueling hike taken in August, 2014.  Here’s a link to the Washington Trails Association’s webpage about Mount Walker:  http://www.wta.org/go-hiking/hikes/mount-walker.  The north summit view, from the top of Mount Walker, includes the third-highest peak in the Olympic Mountains range, Mount Constance (7,743’), and the other “Tall Mountains” are Warrior Peaks, Cloudy Peak, Buckhorn Mountain, Iron Mountain and Mount Townsend to the west and northwest. 

My reference photo and the art for e-book pages 6-8 are above.
