Mount St. Helens

It hasn't erupted since 1980 March 2005, but apparently Mount St Helens still counts as an active volcano. Not great resolution here yet though. Thanks: Sean Miller, kb and others.

Rainbow Bridge, Utah

The world's largest natural bridge. The surrounding landscape is very surreal, it all looks like it is sculpted out of play dough. Thanks Jeff Reynolds.
