And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Shasta and the Bolam Glacier on the left, Shastina on the right, with the largest glacier in California, the Whitney, in between
This is a summertime image. The big stratovolcano just absorbed a huge snowfall from that storm that just went through last weekend, and all this would be white right now.
This is the point of view, near Weed CA, when clouds to the west are just right, that you can see a pink sunset on Shasta. It's a magical treat to witness. I've also seen the sign at the North Gate trailhead that warns: "Beware of the man eating bergschrund on the Bolam glacier!"
Heck, I was born in raised in NoCal and never knew we had glaciers. I do love Lassen though ;>}

Of all the pics of Shasta you've posted, this has to be the most beautiful - that white-faced moon... wow
