2019 | Mt. Shasta from Interstate 5
I’ve been admiring this old volcano since I was a very young skier. Surveyed at over 14,000 feet, it rises more than 10,000 feet above its high valley. Shasta is deeply respected by all who approach; it is known to make its own weather, at any time of year.
Here’s a try at a picture, driving northbound to visit a revered photographer, but I have found that the best way to make passing pictures is from the railroad, whose tracks describe a broad half-circle around Shasta’s massif.
