Cotopaxi

(Psalm 36.5-6)-Your love, O LORD, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies. Your righteousness is like the mighty mountains, your justice like the great deep. O LORD, you preserve both man and beast.
(Isaiah 2.3)-Many peoples will come and say, "Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us his ways, so that we may walk in his paths." The law will go out from Zion, the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Mt. Cotopaxi-I had posted another picture of her a couple entries back, but this picture was clearer and a bit nicer. What is amazing is the way that we saw it, I guess it was kind of like last time, a tremendous surprise. We saw it one day on a stretch of road going back to Quito. A stretch of road we had passed on dozens of times and had never seen Cotopaxi at all, and then there it was, a pleasant surprise. The moutain is about 30 miles away from Quito. The elevation of Cotopaxi is 5,897 m or 19,347 ft., by the way, the white stuff on top of the moutain is snow. (Click on picture to enlarge).
