Mt St Helens (awesome)

[RockysMom]

CHECK OUT THE PHOTOS AT THE END






Here is something not many of us get to see, unless




you live near there - Mt. St. Helen s at sunrise.




Mt. St .. Helens continues to spew ash, while it is




forming a lava dome in the crater and still having




minor tremors.




Here in this sunrise shot, she appears to be blowing




smoke rings (and anything so benign is welcomed, given




recent history).




What forms the "smoke rings" is the air flowing over




the mountain getting pushed up higher as it goes up




and over the top. The moisture content and initial




temperature are just right so that the moisture




condenses from a vapor to small particles at the




higher altitude. When the moving air moves past the




peak and comes down again, the particles evaporate




back to an invisible vapor.




The two "pancakes" describe that there are two layers




of air for which this is happening, thus making this




awesome picture possible.
