___________ Center?

If y'all are gettin' the idea that I cropped out the name of the "center", you'd be right. It's not Atlantic City.

Looks like the amusement park is more like a fair and not permanent. That's all I got. Im going sailing.
D'ohhh! You're right! It IS a fair. Well, that's not fair. Time for a different picture.
Here's yours Photopilot (Haha! Just Kidding!):
You got it, buddy!

Savannah, GA.
The sign was a dead giveaway.

I only see a partial sign on a building... I'm guessing Alexandria VA
Savannah, GA.

Haha, oops. I guess I should google my own signs next time. Apparently Jere Antiques has only one store and it's in Savannah.
Yup. If I had left "American Bank" in the picture with "__________Center", it would have been a "dead give-away" as GF said!

OK, this is sort of a trick skyline, yes, that in itself is a clue. Looking for the name of the mountain,
extra points if you can name the lake too.

Mt Fuji (AKA Fujiyama). Guessing, but is it Lake Yamanaka
That would be St Helens and Spirit Lake which is now completely destroyed after the eruptions. I'm not old enough to have seen it like that but I'm familiar with photos. It was one of the most beautiful lakes in the Cascade mountains.
This is pretty much what it looked like when I saw it in 2002.

TooDogly, I do believe you are correct.
I'll wait a little longer for GF to confirm before posting the next one.

Red rocks = Utah or Colorado?
Not those states. This is volcanic rock, not sedimentary.

Are you a geologist?
Haha, maybe amateurishly, I guess I know the fundamentals. I enjoy learning about all branches of science: chemistry, physics, biology, astronomy, geology. Except Taxonomy, I couldn't care less about how humans decide to categorize living things.

I would venture to say 'no' to that, as "volcanic rock" is not a type of rock but a description of origin. Volcanic rock and sedimentary rock are not mutually exclusive; volcanic rock can and often leads to both metamorphic and sedimentary stratification, so going by looks alone it looks to have been stratified in some fashion.
Anyhow, I have no guesses on this one.
Uhhh....what about all of the other states with volcanoes? Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, South Dakota, Idaho, Virginia, New Hampshire, Mississippi, Missouri, Nevada, and Texas all have at least one volcano.

I already had you guessed you as a geologist before this post.
I will be leaving New Hampshire out of the guessing though.

New Hampshire has a volcano? What does it spew, maple syrup?

Haha nope! I'm a software engineer by day. But my BFF (can guys use this term???) is a Geoscientist (and his wife a hydrogeologist), so I'm always getting fresh doses of geology knowledge. And not unlike TooDogly I like to dabble in most math/science related fields as well. Astronomy and geology are two of my favorites. General biology is right up there too. Chemistry was never a strong suit for me (actually hated it at times), but brewing has definitely piqued my interest in chemistry more so.
Also I see a typo in that post of mine you quoted. I didn't mean to say that "it would be more correct to say that the rock is not igneous instead of not sedimentary".....instead it should have read "it would be more correct to say that the rock is igneous instead of not sedimentary". Updated the original post to be less confusing.
Two, in fact:
Pawtuckaway Mountains
Ossipee Mountains
No one said anything about being an "active volcano".....
Thanks for setting me straight MagicMatt. I will try to clarify my clue.
This is a mountain peak that is also a volcano, and it is located in one of the five states I mentioned. The stratification seen in the photo is the result of consecutive eruptions which built up the mountain, not layers of sandstone or other such rock that has been pushed to that angle by uplift (such as you might see in Utah or Colorado.

I've got to say, I thought I had a pretty good grip on US volcanos, and even after checking a reference sheet I still have no idea.
Looks to be above the tree line, so the peak would have to be >10,000ft. The rock color seems to hint SW US, which would narrow if down to California if that's true (based on your list). I've never seen those colors in Alaska, and haven't been to Hawaii but pretty sure its volcanoes are almost all basalt. I've checked all that I can think of that meet these 2 criteria (think there's only 4) and can't find a photo that resembles this at all.

Man.....that was tricky, good job.
Broken Top, final answer.
Finding a glacially eroded volcano peak was tougher than I thought. That is a pretty distinctive peak, yet I couldn't find any suitable images. Then I noticed where you are from and homed in around Bend, and voila.
I need to get up to the PNW more often.

Correct! I picked this angle from inside the crater to make the mountain look smaller but you realized it was above the tree line. Great powers of deduction, Mr. Holmes!
Photo Pilot was sooo close with his guess, literally, you can see the top of North Sister poking above the rim there.

Ok on the subject of volcanoes, here's a two-for: two pictures, two volcanoes. Give me both and you get the nod! It shouldn't be too hard.....if you get one, the other should be obvious.
In the first one, name the volcano/mountains in the distance. The 2nd picture shows the volcano I was standing on to take these pics. Both pictures were taken from the same spot, just turned 180° around (one facing roughly west, the other east).
