Mt St Helen’s Pics

Hubby got some really good pics of Mt St Helen on his pentax, the greens and blues just popped. Most of the pics are from his.  All of them from our two cameras are posted on our Travels page, listed at the top : http://www.paulineantoinette.com/our-travels/

But here is the link to the new gallery : http://paulineantoinette.com/PNH/travel/2011_MtStHelen/MtStHelens_Jun2011/index.html

Coldwater Lake

 

All the snow on the side of the road.

 

This is one of our favorites, hubby took this one

 

How high the snow it at the observatory on June 6th.

 

Being difficult

 

Where the ridge took the hit…..all those trees that were taken out.

 

Clouds cleared pretty well after we saw the movie. See how the rivers cut through all that debris?

 

Where we started out hike

 

There is a critter in there, can you see it?

 

I just really like this quote on here…..from a few months before it erupted.

 

Starting into our hike

 

Self portrait time.

 

We are literately walking on what use to be the top of Mt St Helen’s

 

The landslide and flow left huge mounds of ash, pumice and debris….totally changing the landscape and, in time, creating new lakes and ponds.

 

Where a tree was snapped off, that is the bottom, the top is buried. It was about 8 ft in diameter, it use to be an old growth tree (over a 100yrs old)

 

All the pumice

 

As the river cuts through and reclaims it’s path

 

Trees cut down 6.5 miles away by the force of the blast.

 

Self-portrait time

 

I really like this one, caught it on my Olympus
