A striking, vertical landscape photo capturing the high-altitude wilderness of Lassen Volcanic National Park. In the foreground, a dry, rocky trail of volcanic debris slopes upward, covered in a vast, sprawling meadow of vibrant, purplish-blue wildflowers. Beyond the flowers are dense groves of healthy, dark green coniferous trees, particularly pines, hugging the rocky slopes. The background is dominated by the majestic, rugged peak of Lassen Peak, showing complex geological features, patches of dark rock, scree slopes, and a few small, remaining streaks of white snow. Above the volcanic mountain, the sky is a flawless, deep, bright blue. The sunlight is strong and direct, casting sharp shadows and highlighting the texture of the rocks and flowers.

Finding where the flowers meet the peak. 🪻🪨 The hike to Lassen Peak delivered, but seeing the volcanic slopes painted in this much purple is next-level. Just a stunning afternoon in the high country!

#VisitCalifornia has placed a number of ads on Australian TV of late. No offense to the people of California, but I doubt many Aussies will take advantage of any deals that you offer. Not while the #PedophileInChief and the #EpsteinRegime is in power.
