Mid-Summer's Eve Ride to Mt. St. Helens

In late July, I took a ride up to Mt. St. Helens in hopes of seeing the glow of the lava dome at night, but unfortunately, the new dome in the middle of the crater is so high now, that it is blocking the view of any new lava coming into the crater if you are looking at it from the north, but I still managed to get in some good pictures.

Fading lights...
