PICTURE PERFECT ---- PEACE

This was the view from a house we sat last month, while our friends were in Tahoe.  This is taken from the front steps, early morning, Sun rising behind us in the East, the Moon taking its' time to set in the West, playing tag with Mt. Shasta's peaks.  Wood steps, crisp morning air, clear sky, hot coffee, a Master Piece given freely by the Creator, and someone you love to share it all with.  At peace on a peaceful morning.

Shasta Moon

(I had one picture with the moon focused, and another with Mt. Shasta in focus, but not one with both in focus, so I cut out the good moon, and put it over the fuzzy moon in the good Mt. Shasta Picture--JohnOh)

  15. What a breathtaking view, John! There is definitely a strong sense of peace there.... a sense of stability and unchangeability where all goes according to a great plan.

  16. Beautiful shot of a grand old mountain! I saw Shasta from a distance several times this summer and fall, but didn't get this close. It's a very peace inspiring view! (As long as the volcano stays dormant!!!!) LOL!!!

  20. Great photo of Shasta, I have some old film prints from 25 years ago of that sight. Good idea, switching moons, they're tricky to shoot.
