The surrounding area

Contrast

The new fallen snow and the grey ash and pyroclastic flows.

Maximum zoom

Full zoom on the lava dome.

The Lava Dome

I used the digital zoom and my new tripod here to grab several shots of the still steaming lava dome.

Winter begins

From Johnston Ridge

Mt Adams

Getting closer

Another wonderful clear day arrived, so we headed out to Mt. St. Helens. The first visitor centor offered some nice views, and was one of the two left opened. Coldwater closed for good on the 7th of this month and Johnston Ridge (home of the usgs volcanocam) closed for the season on the 5th.

Finally!!!

It was clear enough to see St. Helens (which we are heading to Friday) and Mt Rainier on her left shoulder.

Moon

I was playing with the digital zoom on the camera, and grabbed this nifty shot of the moon.
