About Mt. Shasta

GUIDELINES:
Welcome to the Mt. Shasta group!

The Mt. Shasta photo pool is a place for you to share photos of the beautiful form of the mountain in her splendor: views of Mt. Shasta in clouds, from afar, from above, from below, in snow....

For now, we are NOT looking for details that you might stumble upon while hiking at other locations (rocks, critters, your tent, etc.) nor views taken from the mountain or in the surrounding area. While those are all aspects of the Mount Shasta experience, they don't hit the focus of the group: views of the mountain herself. Photos with features in the foreground are fine so long as the mountain is clearly visible.

Photos of the town of Mount Shasta may be posted in the group Siskiyou County Towns or in the group Mountain Towns, both started by one of our admins.

>>> Please tag your photos: mt shasta <<<

You are also welcomed to share photos of other interesting Mt. Shasta related things by posting them in group discussions.

Thanks for sharing!


Mount Shasta

Majestic mountain, on whose lofty crest,
I almost fancy, angels poise in flight;
Unite with nature's harmonies, to bless,
And praise thy Maker, in His matchless might.

The plaintive notes of woodland bird below,
The breeze that wakes the tuneful pine's deep sigh,
Loud anthems; when the thunder shakes thy brow,
All nature, speaks the praise of God most high.

I fain would linger near, and gaze upon,
Thy kingly splendor and thy robe of light,
Forget the lesser things, and feast my soul,
On nature's nobler works! Nor wish the night.

Unwearied hours of autumn afternoon,
I looked with wonder, on thy majesty sublime,
And now the starlit heavens and full-orbed moon,
On thy resplendent beauty faintly shine.

-- J.W. Strevell
