One of our friends recently bought a plane - and we had an opportunity to go flying with him on a recent afternoon over Mt. St. Helens. I grabbed my D800 and 50mm lens - I wish I had brought my 20mm lens and a CPL, but I will remember that next time. This trip was very last minute and very exciting! I cannot wait to go again, somewhere new. It was incredible, and so clear that on our way we could even see Rainier in the distance (though this was on the crater-side and that's Mt. Hood in the background).

Thank you! I'm very luck to know a pilot who took me up there.

A truly amazing capture, the many layers of mountains in the background give an incredibly accurate (as much as possible in a photo) sense of the size and scale of the scene.
Not only is it a fabulous shot, it brings back fond memories of the exhilarating views climbing this majestic beast. I made to the crest shown on the right 1/3 of the frame, just past the end of the highlight.
Looking out was an amazing sight, looking down, scary and humbling. My buddy and I heard the sound of a helicopter, way down below we saw it among the rising steam and, it looked like the size of an ant !

P.S. It took over 12 hours to climb to the top.
When I got there, I too could see Mt Rainier, Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood. in Oregon. For a sense of scale, keep in mind, Mt. Hood is 130 miles away and the smallish looking mountain to the right of it is Mt. Jefferson just shy of 300 miles away

It is tough to beat the views here on a clear day, isn't it? I haven't climbed St. Helens, though I did once make it to the hut on Rainier where you overnight before summitting. What a beautiful area I'm lucky to call home!

Absolutely breathtaking image! I'm glad you clarified that it is Mt. Hood in the distance (not Rainier). As I remember, I lived between Mt. Adams and Mt. Hood yet received no ash fallout due to the eruption occurring on the northwest side of Mt. St. Helens. Congratulations on your win - stunning shot!

This is a beautiful photo shot from the air moving, of course. i would call it frozen beauty in time. I have a special interest in MT. St. Helens. I did a seven stamp cover set using the newspapers photographers who risk their lives documenting the eruption. Each is hand signed by them. I will post them on my site probably around March 17, the day the mountain exploded. Thanks for this wonderful photo memory.
