An Evening with Shasta
This beautiful sunset was captured on a steep hillside on the north side of the Shasta Valley in Northern California, USA.
In this composition, the viewer is looking southeast across the valley, over the jagged rocks of Sheep Rock, and into the snow-capped peak of majestic Mount Shasta. The greyish-purplish area on the mountain is the burn scar of the 2021 Lava Fire.
Captured during January warm spell, I should have not had access to this location. I would normally be under several feet of snow. Sadly, the area is under severe drought that continues.
Location: Siskiyou County, California, USA
