Contrast

It's interesting how we commonly use a term like "barren landscape" when referring to the St. Helens devastation zone, but not too often in reference to desert peaks. It must have to do with the contrast between this terrain before and after the eruption, or between this and the surrounding lush green world. Nice pix! -Bob

Re: Contrast

Thanks. I think you are right; it's probably the contrast between now and then.

Excellent shot!

The volcano looks very stark and destroyed in contrast to the surrounding landscape. Nice contrast!
