This 'mountain' is completely man-made.
It's actually left over waste from the gold-mining process in the area. On dry, windy August days dust blows off the peaks and covers the town below.
Some people believe there are toxic by-products from the mining process left in the dust...

It is sometimes difficult to avoid that posterization in the sky, especially under basic rules. Otherwise, a dramatic entry with some good impact. Should do better than my own.
Interesting vantage point with the road leading right to the peak (though I'm unsure what is laying off to the side of the road!) The weird bands in the sky are a bit of a distraction, as are the small dots (almost looks like specks that were cloned out).
