Mt. McLoughlin

[BosnMate]

This is a picture of a picture. The first photo was taken using a Pentax film camera. There is no way the mountain looked as large as it does in the photo. The mountain was 100 miles due south of my location, and I snapped the photo, then had it enlarged into an 8x10, and using my new camera, I just photographed the photo. A person could go to the same location today, and not see that view. I was up on a ridge deer hunting an old logging unit, and there that mountain was, and frankly it's the only time I've seen it, and I hunted up there a lot. Now the reprod has grown to the point, from the same spot, there is just closeup views of trees. When I first saw the mountain, I thought it was Mount Shasta in California. Got home and checked some maps and found out it was actually Mt. McLoughlin, east of Medford, OR.


Tried to reload the picture because of the alien thing and ended up with two of the same. One would get the idea that I don't know what I'm doing. Fancy that. Anyhow, this picture isn't coming through like the original, so I'm doing something wrong.

20 years ago I could see Long's peak out my kitchen window, but all the trees they planted have grown up and covered the veiw. I got a maple tree in the back yard taller then the house now. I planted that tree from a seed I picked up off the sidewalk. The trunk is now maybe 6 or 7 inches in diameter now. The cat always sharpens his claws on it. I think someday that tree will grow as big as the ones in the old cemetery and no one will know I was the one who nursed it into existence. Maybe I'll take a core out of the base to see how long ago I first got that seed to grow.
