Beauty Amongst The Ashes

Beauty Amongst the Ashes, Mt Saint Helens­

Every time I visit Mount Saint Helens I am in awe.  We have many mountains here in the pacific northwest, but Helens is stunningly unique and a perfect example of the strength of nature.

41 years ago, when this mountain erupted it was anything but beautiful. It was downright terrifying. I was very young when Mount Saint Helens erupted but I remember the moment well. The destruction of the May 18th, 1980, eruption is still very evident today, yet the slowly recovering ecosystem is breathtaking.
