Had an overnight in Oaxaca yesterday -

"The Pico de Orizaba, or Citlaltépetl (from Nahuatl citlal(in) = star, and tepētl = mountain), is a stratovolcano, the highest mountain in Mexico and the third highest in North America. It rises 5,636 metres (18,491 ft) above sea level in the eastern end of the Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt, on the border between the states of Veracruz and Puebla. The volcano is currently dormant but not extinct with the last eruption taking place during the 19th century. It is the second most prominent volcanic peak in the world after Africa's Mount Kilimanjaro"

Stunning. Just absolutely stunning.
 
YIKES!, that'll leave a mark.

Nearly did. I'm highly aware of wildlife when I run on trails, but I never saw him until he struck. He was in the grasses along the trail, as I ran up he struck, then coiled and rattled. I caught the movement out of the corner of my eye and jumped left off the trail away from it taking the dog with me.

How close did he get? and how close were you to take that picture? Looks like you were looking down on it.
