Description
This is the north side of Mt Shasta in California. The tree line ends at 7000 feet. It is another 7000 feet to the top. Sorry but on this day you can not see the top because of clouds. This area on the north slope is where it is predicted the volcano will blow next. When this happens the north east USA will be in big trouble.
But in the mean time it is a very beautiful site to see.

Volcanoes are always so ominously interesting, more ominous when they're not dead but apparently inactive. Okay, dead ones are still ominous, but at least we know they won't burp and spew wholesale disaster everywhere. It's always those quiet, but live ones you have to watch out for, especially if they start to swell...thankfully this one isn't swelling yet, but Mount Saint Hellen's is doing something a bit...um...well...ominous! Anyway...this is a fantastic and serene shot. I love the crisp, sharp snow and the lively greenery. Marvelous! Hmm...I wonder why Geologists haven't figured out ways to "vent" these puppies; it's theoretically possible, you just have to know when and where to drill!

It's erupted approx 10 times during the last 3,400 years, and they say there is a 1 in 4 chance that it will blow in any given person's lifetime! They are pretty good odds............especially considering I live in Australia. ;) Nice shot.
