Mount Baker glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States. Mount Baker has the second-most thermally active crater in the Cascade Range after Mount St. Helens. About 30 miles (48 km) due east of the city of Bellingham, Whatcom County, Mount Baker is the youngest volcano in the Mount Baker volcanic field. While volcanism has persisted here for some 1.5 million years, the current volcanic cone is likely no more than 140,000 years old, and possibly no older than 80–90,000 years. Older volcanic edifices have mostly eroded away due to glaciation.
After Mount Rainier, Mount Baker has the heaviest glacier cover of the Cascade Range volcanoes; the volume of snow and ice on Mount Baker, 0.43 cu mi (1.79 km3) is greater than that of all the other Cascades volcanoes (except Rainier) combined. It is also one of the snowiest places in the world; in 1999, Mount Baker Ski Area, located 9 mi (14.5 km) to the northeast, set the world record for recorded snowfall in a single season—1,140 in (29 m; 95 ft).
Mount Baker is the third-highest mountain in Washington and the fifth-highest in the Cascade Range, if Little Tahoma Peak, a subpeak of Mount Rainier, and Shastina, a subpeak of Mount Shasta, are not counted. Located in the Mount Baker Wilderness, it is visible from much of Greater Victoria, Nanaimo, and Greater Vancouver in British Columbia, and to the south, from Seattle (and on clear days Tacoma) in Washington.

Tengger Caldera in East Java (Indonesia), seen during sunrise time from Mount Penanjakan viewpoint (2,770 m). I took this photo with an iPhone. Temperature was only around 5 degrees C.
In the foreground is Mount Batok (2,440 m). The steaming crater to the left is Mount Bromo (2,329 m). And the impressive volcano in the background is Mount Semeru (3,676 m). Morning mist covers Segara Wedi, the so-called "Sea of Sands".
Many thanks for your visits / comments / faves!
Inside the Mount Bromo crater - Gunung Bromo - an active volcano and part of the Tengger massif, located in East Java, Indonesia.
The volcano belongs to the Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park. The name of Bromo derived from Javanese pronunciation of Brahma, the Hindu creator god.
At 2,329 metres (7,641 ft) it is not the highest peak of the massif, but is one of the most visited tourist attractions in Java island.
Mount Santubong's name may have been derived from the Iban word for coffin, but various Chinese derivations have also been suggested (San approximating the word for mountain in many dialects), as well Bidayuh, in whose lands the names of many hills start with S. Investigators have made ascents of the steep mountain to find places of archaeological interest. Around its foot are signs of Hindu occupation which are hundreds of years old which have been investigated by the Sarawak Museum. It was also the home of the early Sarawak Malays until they were driven up to Kuching in about the 1850s owing to continual attacks from the powerful Saribas Dayaks.[citation needed]
The mountain is made of sandstone, although it has been confused by many with limestone tower karst, or a volcanic plug: smaller versions of both appear not far inland. For a long time it interested those in search of gold but without success. There used to be an old theory that all the gold in the First Division of Sarawak lies in a straight line between Bau and Santubong which has some support in that there is a certain amount of gold in the mountain since fishermen in the past used to depend for their livelihood during the monsoon seasons, when the sea was too rough for fishing, by panning gold in the small mountain streams from which they could expect to gain an average of twenty dollars a month.
In this picture you get to see all the "4 iconic Santubongs" of Sarawak.

We spend two days on a camping ground closed Paradise. Cold, misty and rainy wether. For this reason the creek’s were full up and we enjoyed many waterfalls.

This appears to be an old horse mounting block by the gate to someone’s garden. I cannot even begin to count the times we’ve walked passed this and not noticed it before. If it hadn’t have been for the snowdrops we probably never would have spotted it.
I suppose it will come in handy now if anyone should want to climb over the drystone wall.
Thank you for your visit and your comments, they are greatly appreciated.

The once mighty volcano Mount Crayon, erupting frequently, now seems to be extinct. Or is it only dormant, and its magma chamber holds some future surprises?
Well, this pretty much sums up this image (and also my drawing activities which have been dormant for a long time now): It's only half of what I had originally envisioned for our "Wood" theme. Because (of course) I wanted to depict an active volcano, maybe with a lava stream and some smoke. But... I ran out of time (of course) and I also wasn't sure how to make the smoke appear as if it came right out of the volcanic crater/conduit. Red wax could have served as lava but the smoke... Well, this is definitely something I will keep in mind for our Redux (or maybe Redo) theme at the end of the year, so stay tuned for Mount Crayon's mighty comeback ;)
It kind of broke my heart to break off the crayon's tip/lead but if I wanted to have something that looked like a volcano, I had no choice because none of the numerous, long unused pencils and crayons lying around in boxes around the house already had a broken lead.
I placed a gold-coated paper cake board behind the crayon and illuminated it with yellow light from the right to get the golden half of the background, and I held the small LED flashlight equipped with a small pink semi-transparent lid (of a SodaStream gas cylinder) above it to create the pink highlights (which I hoped would give the impression of some lava or heat but...). To get the entire volcanic crater sharp I did focus bracketing with 55 images that I combined in Helicon Focus (Method A, Radius 7, Smoothing 7). Processed in LR (the basics) and in Colour Efex (Detail Extractor filter applied on the crayon only).
HMM, Everyone! (I will catch up with you a little later.)

Mount Baker, also known as Koma Kulshan or simply Kulshan, is a 10,781 ft (3,286 m) active glacier-covered andesitic stratovolcano in the Cascade Volcanic Arc and the North Cascades of Washington in the United States.

Mount Errigal is a 751-metre (2,464 ft) mountain near Gweedore in County Donegal, Ireland. As you can see here, Errigal is well known for the pinkish glow of its quartzite in the setting sun, and was was voted Ireland's Most Iconic Mountain.
Taken on today's adventure around Lake Minnewanka...
I was in search of the "lone tree"... Having gone from the outhouse at the main turnoff and bouldered to the end of the service road... I have come to the conclusion the tree is photoshopped into every image! Haha.
I may not have found the tree... But I have been loving these ice chunks my past few visits to this lake.
Mount Drum
This 12,011-foot volcano rises only about 37 miles due east of Glennallen in a storybook cone with a snowy crown. Although Drum had a dramatic prehistoric eruption history, scientists believe it has not exploded in about 800,000 years. (Alaska.org)
This scene was captured from the side of Mount Tassie which is in the state of Victoria, Australia, not far from Balook.
Late in the afternoon torrents of rain had fallen over the general area, and the humid conditions and a warm ground both combined to fill these valleys and hollows with mist.
As I was photographing the rising and falling swirls of mist, the sun broke through underneath the cloud layer and presented this dramatic and beautiful sunset.
It was a wonderful end to the day.

Looking like part of a Moonscape, Mount Arckaringa, South Australia. The Painted Desert is a bit out of the way but well worth the drive.
The ash fields around Mount Yasur on Tanna Island _ Vanuatu. Walking in these fields is harder than it looks! Temperatures around 32 celcius, over 95% humidity and ash and sulphur fumes swirling in the air. The vulcano has been continuously active since first described by Captain Cook and likely hundreds of years before that.
