Mt Shasta

[BlackRockArt]

Hi y'all

This is the best view of mighty Mt Shasta I have seen over the years.

Every time I went there, it was cloudy, snowing, or lack of snow. Last weekend I got a lucky break: the whole region was cloudless, with the fresh snow from last week, I got a nice clear view of the mountain, what a magnificent mountain.

" Behold the dread Mt. Shasta, where it stands
Imperial midst the lesser heights, and, like
Some mighty unimpassioned mind, companionless
And cold. The storms of Heaven may beat in wrath
Against it, but it stands in unpolluted
Grandeur still; and from the rolling mists upheaves
Its tower of pride e’en purer than before.
The wintry showers and white-winged tempests leave
Their frozen tributes on its brow, and it
Doth make of them an everlasting crown.
Thus doth it, day by day and age by age,
Defy each stroke of time: still rising highest
Into Heaven! -- John Rollin Ridge "

The snow clad peak contrasts nicely with blue skies.

Sweet - one of my favorite volcanos and it really looks nice with this year's generous snowpack.
