Five volcanoes in one shot - from left to right: Mt. Rainier, Mt. Adams, Mt. Hood, Mt. St. Helenes, Mt. Jefferson. Spanning Washington (near Seattle) to Oregon. I didn't realize the significance of this shot until almost a year later. Such a feat (these five volcanoes in one shot), at this low altitude at least, is almost certainly only possible with infrared. I suspect it might be possible to see all five in visible light from the very top of Mt. Rainier on an exceptionally clear day (which is kind of cheating because it has to be in the picture too), but I have yet to find any such pictures in spite of scouring the internet. If you know of one, please add a comment with a link!
