I was in Costa Rica at the hot springs and its incredible. As the volcano rumbles and erupts the springs will pulse hot water! Its so awesome!

I live in Yakima, Washington. In 1980, our first clue that Mt St Helens had erupted was the sound of thunder. The thunder and lightning continued for hours as long as the ash was still falling.

RE: Comment # 84
I’m with you WTF?

I’m sure some people see the photograph, think “thats awesome” and move on. That’s OK.

When I saw this great photo, my first thought was “what would cause something like this to happen?”. It has been and always will be my nature.

Has anyone stopped to consider the description of God’s meeting with Moses in the Old Testament?

A pillar of cloud with lightnings all about it? A pillar of cloud by day and a pillar of fire by night?

Just a thought…

this is nearly as entertaining as science Vs religion which i’m surprised hasn’t really come into it all yet. No one claiming its god’s beautiful work???

Anyway i’m glad i read matt’s explanation as i wouldn’t have known how it occurs. I appreciate both sides. the picture is gorgeous but its is truly also an magnificent display of nature one which i would like to understand. that’s why we have the likes of artiest, galleries, historians, scientists, the discovery channel etc. we don’t just have one!

however, would this debate have ever happened if the photographer/poster titled it “BA-BOOM” or something to that effect???

Well it would appear that the term ignorant has been tossed around a lot in this post, but it does appear to be a storm in the background and where the ash plume and cloud meet is the most spectacular part of the photo.

But I am not a geologist or a meteorologists so I could only begin to just guess at assumptions as to what that could be. Is Mr. Brown correct in his point of changing the name, I could not tell you I am not educated in the required fields. This does not make me ignorant tho because I just simply know that I do not know, but I do know that all things are possible when looking at the beautiful destruction that is nature.

Wow, this is how I imagine the apocolypse. Is it wrong that I want one now?
