Revisiting some favorite places #44: Johnston Ridge took the first blast when the mountain blew, but even after more than 40 years, you can still find the fallen trees (left). Just to the right of the tree in the foreground you can see the Toutle River, nearly 4000 feet below. The wildflowers are Indian Paintbrush.

Wow. Love the softening effect that the wildflowers give that dramatic landscape.

Love lost of wilderness in the mountains, so good the photo.

La naturaleza es sabia y si se la deja restablece el orden natural. La foto es buena muestra el contraste de la aridez con la naturaleza renacida.
Un abrazo.
