Sparse forest at the foot of Mount Shasta in Siskiyou County, 1930

Photograph of a sparse forest at the foot of Mount Shasta in Siskiyou County, 1930. Green pine trees with no lower branches can be seen from the foreground up to a snow-topped mountain in the background. The ground between the trees is depicted as green, while the sky is visible as being blue in color. Dried bushes and treetops can be seen in the foreground, as well as a green branch at upper left.; "Mount Shasta is located in the Cascade Range in northern California about 65 kilometers (40 miles) south of the Oregon-California border and about midway between the Pacific Coast and the Nevada border. One of the largest and highest of the Cascade volcanoes, snowclad Mount Shasta is near the southern end of the range that terminates near Lassen Peak. Mount Shasta is a massive compound stratovolcano composed of overlapping cones centered at four or more main vents; it was constructed during a period of more than 100,000 years." -- unknown author
