Mt Shasta is a big bitch, for sure. These are from just about 100 miles away, near my place. I can't see her from our house, but just up the road the ridge isn't in the way.

Sunset Thursday evening. First pic is with my crappy phone, very top of the old volcano just about dead center of the picture:

This one with the good camera, 300mm lens at the lowest zoom.

From a bend or two further up the road and with a slightly higher vantage. Same camera/lens but zoomed in all the way:

The views are one of the reasons I love the West. All the times I was back east I can't remember many places where one can see over 100 miles.

But there are many things I miss about back East too. Fall is the time of year I miss the turning of the leaves. Pictures please, you folks back there!

In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
