30 Years Later
by Justin Reznick
This image was taken a few weeks back from Norway Pass looking down into Spirit Lake, the massive log jam, and the magical last light striking the rim of Mt. St. Helens. I returned here again last week with my client, and even though sunset was absent of color, he was awestruck by the incredible scene, unique to a volcano only 30 years after its last eruption.

Beautiful view, great death of field.

Great depth and color. The log and the water are just touching and are also inverse shapes of each other, which really balance out the picture. Brilliant composition and timing
Debs

The dead log really leads your eye right into the subject matter…!
Perfect.

Looks like a painting and an awesome one at that! 30 years ago I lived in Bellingham and we heard the blasts all day long, not knowing what was exploding…

This is one of my favorite places on Earth and you have captured it beautifully. For now I have set it as my desktop background so that I can enjoy it over and over again.

As beautiful as this is, it’s not like being there and seeing the awesome destruction still visible. Excellent job!
Laura Milholland
Magnificent job on this shot! I flew over a few weeks back and even got a couple of shots. They didn’t look anything like this though.
Thirty years – I wouldn’t have guessed!
