I can't believe that I have never been to Mt St Helens having lived in Oregon all of my life. I took a road trip today out of boredom and wanted to go somewhere different. Today couldn't have been any more beautiful, but a little nerve wracking knowing that I was only a mile or two away from a VERY active volcano that could erupt at any given moment.

Nikon D70s
24mm
ISO 200
C-PL filter

edit: wow, I logged in this morning to check a couple things and saw a TON of messages which only led me to believe one thing.

I'd like to thank :iconslave-screams: for the suggestion and :iconkevlewis: for the feature. I am truly honored.

Dusti, you rock girl.

Beautiful Monster by *metro A lovely clear composition of one of Gaia's reminders to us that we are pretty insignificant on this little planet. The use of the old molten lava streams to lead the eye to the summit and to the plumes of steam rising from the crater is excellent (Suggested by =slave-screams and Featured by `KevLewis)

Beautiful- and very nerve-racking, even looking at it from the other side of the world! :)

that mountain is just so, wow... unstable, but gorgeous. almost like some of the volcanoes where you can see a slight amount of magma oozing just knowing that it could get very angry at a moments notice.
