In this photo, the famed Mt. Kilimanjaro rises above the clouds in Tanzania, East Africa.

Behind the Photography Scenes:

I shot this photo from an airplane during a much-needed R&R (rest & relaxation) trip to Kenya's North Coast. I traveled from South Sudan to Nairobi, Kenya, and then on to Mombasa.

Mount Kilimanjaro
Excerpt from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Kilimanjaro with its three volcanic cones, Kibo, Mawensi, and Shira, is an inactive stratovolcano in north-eastern Tanzania. Although it does not have the highest elevation, Kilimanjaro is the tallest free-standing mountain rise[1] in the world,[2] rising 4,600 m (15,100 ft) from its base, and includes the highest peak in Africa at 5,895 metres (19,340 ft), providing a dramatic view from the surrounding plains.
