It was total luck. I had just gotten home from work and was getting ready to head out to meet my family for dinner. A friend called and said "Mt St. Helen's just erupted!"

So I grabbed my camera and flew out as fast as I could to find a spot to take some decent shots. The locale was suggested by my wife. Kudos to her!!!!!

Jeff - nice to know that you live near the action - so we can all look upon you as an American cousin :D

Chris,

I'm here for you. And still in one piece. Actually I was quite far away, but thankfully the Nikon 70-300G lens took me where no man (at least me) has gone before. ;-)

Jeff,

An image of the "terrifying kind" - seeing massive natural forces at work!

Eruptions are like airplane crashes - you don't want to personally participate in them :shock:

Cheers,
Gordon.
