MOUNT SHASTA IN CALIFORNIA ( in Black & White )
The origin of the name "Shasta" is vague, either derived from a people of a name like it or otherwise garbled by early Westerners. Mount Shasta is connected to its satellite cone of Shastina, and together they dominate the landscape. Shasta rises abruptly to tower nearly 10,000 feet (3,000 m) above its surroundings.[4]On a clear winter day, the mountain can be seen from the floor of the Central Valley 140 miles (230 km) to the south.[10][citation needed] The mountain has attracted the attention of poets,[11] authors,[12] and presidents.[13]
The mountain consists of four overlapping dormant volcanic cones that have built a complex shape, including the main summit and the prominent and visibly conical satellite cone of 12,330 ft (3,760 m) Shastina. If Shastina were a separate mountain, it would rank as the fourth-highest peak of the Cascade Range (after Mount Rainier, Rainier's Liberty Cap, and Mount Shasta itself).[4]
Mount Shasta (/ˈʃæstə/ SHASS-tə; Shasta: Waka-nunee-Tuki-wuki;[5] Karuk: Úytaahkoo)[6] is a potentially active[7] volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Range in Siskiyou County, California. At an elevation of 14,179 ft (4,322 m), it is the second-highest peak in the Cascades and the fifth-highest in the state. Mount Shasta has an estimated volume of 85 cubic miles (350 cubic kilometers), which makes it the most voluminous stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc.[8][9] The mountain and surrounding area are part of the Shasta–Trinity National Forest.

It is a privilege to have this moment…seeing closer this beautiful Mountain / Volcano… I went around it and even in the lakes around it for a Photowalk, using my Leica Q2 Monochrome with 28mm 1:1.7 / 28asph Summilux Lens. if you want the other images aside from the featured one, just email me at petruskap2003@yahoo.com, and I will download it for you…
