Morning spent with a friend of mine, hanging out and shooting around Los Angeles’ Pico-Union district. I wanted to try out my 100-200mm telephoto lens and to mess a little with some straight out of camera recipes for the camera.

Pico de Orizaba o Citlaltépetl, también llamado Poyauhtécatl, cerro de la Estrella o volcán de San Andrés, es un pico montañoso de México que forma parte del sistema orográfico sierra Madre oriental y del eje Volcánico transversal o sistema Tarasco-Nahua, y se alza en el estado de Puebla, cerca del límite con Veracruz. Es la cumbre más alta del país, con 5.610 m de altitud, y está situado al noreste de Ciudad Serdán, dentro del Parque nacional Pico de Orizaba. El pico es de origen volcánico, se halla en estado durmiente, pese a esporádicos episodios de actividad fumarólica; en él se localizan grandes vetas de obsidiana y cristal volcánico, utilizados por las antiguas culturas para elaborar instrumentos y objetos de arte. Su forma se acerca a la cónica clásica y su cumbre está siempre nevada, presentando un gran número de pequeños relieves volcánicos a su alrededor. El cráter es ovalado, de unos 500 m de eje mayor por unos 400 m de eje menor, y tiene una profundidad de 300 metros. Carece de huellas de la época glacial, por lo que se supone que estuvo en erupción en 1547. Las erupciones volcánicas que se tienen registradas ocurrieron en 1537, 1545-50, 1559, 1566, 1569, 1613, 1630 y 1687.

Its form approaches the classic conic section and its summit is always snowed, presenting/displaying a great number of small volcanic reliefs to his around. The crater is made oval, of about 500 ms of greater axis by about 400 ms of smaller axis, and has a depth of 300 meters.

Pico has few sandy beaches because of all the volcanic rock but there are lots of these cool swimming spots, many with changing areas and showers, with some conveniently located near bars.

Its 3,718 metre high summit is the highest point in Spain, the highest point above sea level in the islands of the Atlantic, and it is the third highest volcano in the world measured from its base on the ocean floor. It remains active, with its most recent eruption occurring in 1909 from the El Chinyero vent on the north western Santiago rift. Teide together with its neighbour Pico Viejo and Montaña Blanca form the Central Volcanic Complex of Tenerife. (from wikipedia)

The top of the Mt. Pico didn't show up completely today. On the right you see the starting point for those who feel the urge to climb to the top. We didn't have enough time for that and besides the mountain was very slippery we heard. So it was actually two steps up, one step down. The bad weather the day before had changed the mountain in a dangerous obstacle, so the officials didn't advise to go up.
