Mount Rainier

Based on the previous quite popular "Mountain Lake Live Wallpaper" I decided to make a similar, with different background and foreground flowers. I found this very nice photo of Mount Rainier taken by Frank Kovalchek that felt like made for a wallpaper: "Stitched shot of Mt. Rainier and Little Tahoma reflected on Bench Lake".

Please have a look at Mount Rainier Live Wallpaper on Google Play.

Instead of using lupins and dandelions I hunted down some creative commons photos of fireweed (that took ages to isolate with the pen and tablet) for the foreground flowers. I think those work well with a landscape like this.

I also included the new easter egg function "Bird Hunt Mode" for both the paid and free version.

Other than that this lwp is very similar to Mountain Lake so if you already are using that one, this might not add so much to your lwp collection. Some small improvements with the scroll and waves; the scroll should be more consistent now when changing wallpaper priority. The waves were too fast before on new high end phones. Their speed are now system clock based and should be the same regardless of the device's computing power.

About Mount Rainier

Mount Rainier is a massive stratovolcano located 54 miles (87 km) southeast of Seattle in the state of WashingtonUnited States. It is the most topographically prominent mountain in the contiguous United States and the Cascade Volcanic Arc, with a summit elevation of 14,411 ft (4,392 m). Mt. Rainier is considered one of the most dangerous volcanoes in the world, and it is on the Decade Volcano list. Because of its large amount of glacial ice, Mt. Rainier could potentially produce massive lahars that would threaten the whole Puyallup River valley.

About Fireweed

Epilobium angustifolium, commonly known as Fireweed (mainly in North America), Great Willow-herb (Canada), or Rosebay Willowherb (mainly in Britain), is a perennial herbaceous plant in the willowherb family Onagraceae. It is native throughout the temperate Northern Hemisphere, including large parts of the boreal forests.
