Another view from my hike up Mount Adams, looking up from the trail from where one of the many creeks running down from the glaciers above flow.

From the USGS Website

Mount Adams, one of the largest volcanoes in the Cascade Range, dominates the Mount Adams volcanic field in Skamania, Yakima, Klickitat, and Lewis counties and the Yakima Indian Reservation of south-central Washington.

Mount Adams stands astride the Cascade Crest some 50 kilometers due east of Mount St. Helens. The towering stratovolcano (3,742 meters - 12,276 feet) is marked by a dozen glaciers, most of which are fed radially from its summit icecap. In the High Cascades, Mount Adams is second in eruptive volume only to Mount Shasta, and it far surpasses its loftier neighbor Mount Rainier.

Even though Mount Adams has been less active during the past few thousand years than neighboring Mounts St. Helens, Rainier, and Hood, it assuredly will erupt again. Future eruptions will probably occur more frequently from vents on the summit and upper flanks of Mount Adams than from vents scattered in the volcanic fields beyond.

Hi Lori,
In the next weeks I will post also a Volcano at Azores Islands. I like very much your low angle approach with a excelent DOF and POV to this impressive piece of nature. Very good capture with good management of light. Fine vertical enquadrement, beautiful colors and sharpness. Nice contrast between elements in light against shadows, that in this particular case is a must to the composition.

Very well seen, done and composed.
Have a nice week.
Best to you and your work.
Fernando

Hi Lori. That's quite the rugged POV looking way up. No wonder you were so tired! I like the dark blue sky and the clarity afforded by the light. Nicely done Lori!

This is a veyr nice view showing past lava runoffs. I love the view here. The top seems like a destiny to reach. Keep climbing up is the calling.
Nice work Lori

Nice DOF. I esp. like that you've taken it from such a low angle. I think it truly helps make Mount Adams look more impressive. Well done.

Hi Lori,
You get right up close and personal to these splendid mountains with your hiking. The long gulch adds depth to the shot.
Regards, Pat
PS I like your updated introduction.
