Everytime I visit this mountain I am in awe. 41 years ago when this mountain erupted it was anything but beautiful. It was downright terrifying. I was very young when 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.
I knew before I headed out on this trip up to the mountain that if given the right conditions I wanted to try and capture an image that showed the destruction yet the beauty of the mountain and its surrounds.
