Artist's Description
When Mount Saint Helens, a volcanic peak in the Cascade Range, southwestern Washington, U.S. erupted on May 18, 1980, it was one of the greatest volcanic explosions ever recorded in North America and left destruction over some 200 square miles.

Since I have taken up photography, my enjoyment of the...
