Kilimanjaro, Tanzania.  Africa's highest mountain at 5895m (19,300ft) is a multipeaked stratovolcano, flat topped in profile (right). Olivier Rouah caught its triangular shadow from the highest Uhuru summit shortly after sunrise in August 2003. The long shadow cast into the air coincidentally passes over Mount Meru (15,090ft) some 30-40km distant. Image ©Olivier Rouah, shown with permission
