Description
Wildflowers amid the destroyed trees and boulders. Mt St Helens, Washington, USA.
This might be my favourite image. As a geography teacher I had taught my students about the eruption of Mt St Helens for many years. To finally visit and to see the devastation first hand was awe inspiring. To hear about the new glacier that is forming in the crater and the power of nature. However, part of my memory was the wildflowers amid the destruction.....a different power of nature, fighting back in such a harsh environment.
