That's cool, augie.
Just a FYI, yesterday was the 28th anniversary of the Mt. St. Helens' eruption.

PS: I snatched the one with lightning engulfing the cloud.

 

ahh, so you like the Balrog's cousin one. Gandalf!!! Noooo!!!

 

Wow got a whole lot happening, beautiful photo, from far away

 

Ya, I'd have liked to have been far away too!:eek

 

When Mt. St. Helens went I worked at a shop in Salinas. We got out greens from the north west. They came in covered with ash and at the time it was a nuisance to us to have to wash them off. Now I think back wondering why I didn't save one. Little slow here :heli

 

Absolutely amazing Augie thanks alot

EDIT have some stars:-D

 

I was in Portland, during the eruption, and scooped up a bunch of ash (more like silicate sand) and sent it off to friends and family.
Now, I have none because I didn't think to save any. rolleyes

 

Awesome pix, from the Daily Mail link in post #1, augie.:coolThanks. Bazza

 

:heli here you need one too

 

Pity it isn't higher resolution...

 

Ya, I'm trying to find some and if I do, then I'll post here.

 

I just fund this thread and wanted to pass on a tip. One of the best little programs I've seen in a long time is Picture Frame from Yahoo! Widgets Confabulator. I have a show running on my desktop all day. Photos and what ever. I pick a different folder each day. It really doesn't slow down ones system which puzzles me a bit. Can't figure out why it runs so easily - I mean: some pictures can be "heavy".

One should shut the picture frame down before doing other things in the image folder, though. The frame gets confused if you tamper with the pictures, it was about to use.
