Mount Shasta
During my trip to Mt. Shasta I took some time to photograph the
area near the city itself.
Of course the most prominent feature of the area is the mountain. As you can see
in this image there are actually two peaks. The smaller peak to the
left is named Shastina, the larger is Mount Shasta itself.
As with many features in the area Shastina would be quite a attraction by itself.
Right beside Interstate 5 sits a cinder cone named Black Butte, another feature that would stand out if not in the shadow of Mt. Shasta. The road shown is not Interstate 5.
Since it's named Black Butte I thought it appropriate to post it in
black and white.
On the opposite side of the freeway and a bit farther off are the Eddies. Mount Eddy
being the most prominent one. All part of the Trinity Mountains.
I.ve always wanted to get a photo of the reflection of Mt. Shasta in
Lake Siskiyou. The farther I went to the right the more the lake was rippling
from the wind. Not a perfect reflection but it will have to do for now.
Go, See, Enjoy, Stay Safe and Photograph
Along the shore of Lake Siskiyou were the stumps of trees that had been cut down
to make the lake. If you look closely you can see a rope swing. I'm not sure
I would use it knowing features like this exist in the lake.
