Mount Kilimanjaro.

View from the Machame Route, near Barranco.
-------------------------------------------------------

While it is inactive, Kilimanjaro has fumaroles that emit gas in the crater on the main summit of Kibo. Scientists concluded in 2003 that molten magma is just 400 metres (1,300 ft) below the summit crater. Although new activity is not expected, there are fears the volcano may collapse, causing a major eruption similar to the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. Several collapses and landslides have occurred on Kibo in the past, one creating the area known as the western breach. Although there is no recorded history of eruptions, local legend speaks of activity around 170 years ago.

Hello Christian,
this is a beautiful composition with the plant at the left and the snowy mountain at the right. The colours are natural and so beautiful, too.
Thank you for sharing.
Regards, Athanasios.

Hej Christian
Still the snow shines at Kilimanjaro, (thinking on the global warming)
the flash has done a good work here adding up the plant in foreground. maybe you lost some of the detail in the darker parts of the mountain when you lightning it up a bit.
but in all a good picture.

Hallo Christian!
Great photo + great note = excellent contribution to TE. This Senecio gives a wonderful contrast to the summit with its ice. Thank you for showing this!
Greetings from Germany!
