Hello,
This is my first of two entries that I would like to share. I call this "In the shadow of Destruction", and was taken at lava canyon in Washington State. The mountain in this photo is Mt. St. Helens, which in the 1980's had an eruption event, showing the true might of the mountain even as it collapsed. Nowadays, its not uncommon to travel near the mountain without seeing the scars created by this event, grey ash as plentiful as sand on the seashore, trees petrified, even an entire lake disappeared because of the eruption! However, you can also find new found life, countless trees, plants and wildlife that works to return the surronding areas back to a time before the eruption. Even while under the shadow of this mountain, I was able to find a somewhat strange beauty in the cycle of destruction and rebirth, in addition to the amazing sunset caused by wildfire smoke up river. Hope you enjoy!
Beautiful shots. |
