I took this picture three years ago on Johnston Ridge, the best place for views into Mt. St. Helens' caldera. The Indian Paintbrush grows like crazy there, and the remains of a giant tree blown over in the blast 45 years ago dominate this picture. I'm sad to say we haven't been able to go back up there since May of 2023, when a massive landslide closed the highway. The damage was severe, and a new bridge is being built, but repairs will take until 2027. I'm glad we have our pictures to look at.

Increíble la historia que contiene esta foto. Supongo que la espera para poder visitar de nuevo este lugar será larga pero sin duda llegará. La foto tiene muchisima fuerza Bill. Es impresionante.
Ese árbol destruido pero digno, en medio de flores coloristas, aporta una fuerte carga dramática a la imagen.
Un abrazo.
Wonderful photo. Great you got the photo before the landslide :-D Roll on 2027 for more photos :-D
Las fotos nos salvan infinidad de cosas
The dry trunk is oozing determent and despair
Gorgeous scene. It's good to have photos or a photo to look back on as to how things once were. With a new road coming in the future, it will be different.
Se te hará larga la espera. Ese tronco muerto hace un gran contraste con la belleza de las flores que lo rodea. Ellas quieren darle su último adiós.
Que tengas una buena semana.
I am sorry to hear about the landslide blocking your access to this place. You do have a stunning photo of the old wood and Indian Paint Brush.
I am so very sorry to read of the long term affect of the landslide, Bill. As spring unfolds you will be really missing the access to Johnson Ridge.Thanks to the lovely Linda, we both have photos we have taken, to reflect back on the incredible beauty of the ridge.
Cierto, amigo, una imagen con mucha fuerza y dramatismo...
Un saludo.
