Photographer: Tony Sinclair
Photo taken: June 10, 2019, Mount St. Helens
Photographer’s description: “Mount St. Helens: looking south toward the mountain, Jupiter in opposition, with Milky Way tailing.”
Critique: “How often do we use the word ‘awesome’ in its truest sense? I’m not sure, but this photo leaves me with layers of awe. Visually, it’s simply stunning. It is a tremendously peaceful image of a place that has seen such enormous violence (both the mountain and the universe). Thanks for sharing. I hope our readers really enjoy this one.”
