Mt. St. Helens

Since I've photographed two other well known mountains in our area this week, I decided to go for a third! This is Mt. St. Helens, an active volcano famous for its last eruption in 1980 when fifty-seven people died and two hundred and fifty homes were destroyed by the flowing lava. It's about fifty miles from Portland. It used to have a majestic peak which is now flattened by the eruptions. We so often have cloud cover here we have to take advantage of any mountain photo opportunities when we get them!
