I found This Interesting Site while I was looking for more information about the Mt St Helens blast. When I realized just how much force and how deep the hot mud was that covered the earth, I changed my mind about how it seems that Mother Nature is dragging her feet in this area. Parts of trees and still intact trunks are strewn around the area. It was a powerful experience that I don't think I"ll ever forget. :)PJ

Fabulous detail and what blue color in that sky! I like the angle on the slope as well. I'm sure it had to be an awesome experience. Going to check out your link.

I remember it very clearly PJ, the images of the smoke and ash spewing from St Helens in 1980. I guess nature isn't dragging its feet when you think on cosmic timescales - 30 years is a lot to us but nothing to the earth. Maybe it's a reminder of how insignificant we are.... I like how you've shot this on the diagonal and that deep blue sky.

I also remember the eruption too!...Just cannot imagine the destruction if all volcanoes blew together eh!!!

Thanks for both a very interesting link and a impressive image PJ. Makes us realize again that Mother Nature is that powerful.

Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away ~ George Carlin
Yes PJ, when disaster strikes it comes with no warning - whether earthquakes, volcano explosions,sunami or tornadoes. Your photo is a reminder of how helpless we human beings are against the forces of nature.

Very impressing, PJ !!!

MY PHOTOGRAFIC VISION...
I am not an artist, I only let you see with my eyes...!
I can't even imagine what it was like to have lived near there when the mountain erupted. I remember when it happened very well. Great shot, PJ. Very nicely composed.

This is my quest, to follow that star...No matter how hopeless, no matter how far...To fight for the righ, without question or cause...To be willing to march into Hell for a Heavenly cause
I agree with what Nigel said way /\ there somewhere. 30 years is a long time for us, but nothing to the Earth itself. I love this thought provoking capture and the composition you discovered to make this truly unique.

"'Life is not a journey to the grave with the
intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
Great shot showing fantastic sky. I've seen many TV documentaries about Mt St Helens and I always left open-mouthed at the power of the eruption.

That is one blue sky!! Love the angle on this PJ! Nice job!

Very nice contrast between a barren tortured patch of Earth and bright and happy sky. I was at Mt Saint Helens a couple years ago. An emotionally powerful experience indeed!

As said before me, it's a great reminder of how powerful Mother Earth really is and that we are allowed to be here as long as we are good. Great detail and a super Post, PJ.

Lifes getting better all the time!
While you are recalling the destruction of the 1980 blast, I'm recalling the awesome sunsets that summer and again in the summer of 1994, when Mount Pinatubo exploded. It's almost like nature was fighting against global warming as the temperatures dropped on the winter and summers of 1981 and 1995.
Amazing little blue marble we live on.
Love that weathered stump against the azure sky cotton candy cloud. Kudos.

There is no substitute for genuine lack of preparation.
Great photo, & story to this trunk PJ
Never underestimate the power of a volcano, although it seems a few people always do (that's no surprise) I enjoyed the link too, it seems old fellow Trueman made his last stand below the shadow of this erupting giant, aged 83 I say fair play m8t. :o)

The simplicity of your image makes a powerful statement on the ever-present immensity of this kind of 'natural' catastrophe... I remember viewing the snow-crowned Mt. St. Helens from my dormitory window at Pacific University in Oregon (my freshman year), and I remember when this happened, how the entire side of the mountain blew out... it literally rocked the world.

I was sad because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet... so I says to him, "Hey brother, ya wanna sell those shoes?"
Like the perspective on this survivor PJ.. maybe in a thousand years it may look like a forest again... Mother Natures power is awesome...nicely done...=D

Live simply. Speak kindly. Care deeply. Love generously.
I am fascinated by the charred remains of fire, and forests in particular, as a subject matter. Nice shot!
