hiked an afternoon around Mt St Helens this sunday. With my lovely wife, great weather and my camera bag (OMD-EM5 and a couple of lenses)
the beginning and end of the hike (well, actually we still had to walk quite a bit from here to Johnston Ridge Observatory

the first "big climb" - Mt Adams in the distance

at one point wild strawberries covered the entire mountain side... their wonderful smell was so strong, it was a bit cruel

picnic spot after the first big climb - view towards the Cascades in the east - Spirit Lake in the midground

nature is slowly retaking the areas that weren't covered by the mudslides... the stumps of the forest that the blast wave felled will stay a bit longer...

the speed of the blast wave was about 500mph... unimaginable forces really...

the side of the mountain that collapsed in 1980 - there has been activity since then, growing back a small part of the mountain in the collapsed crater

Spirit Lake and Mt Adams on our way back down in the afternoon

we were already in the car on our way home when we spotted this - thankfully the US is really good with viewpoints and places to stop your car when you see something beautiful
