Aerial View: Blowdown and New Growth near Norway Pass, 9 Miles NE of Mount St. Helens, Washington Possibly 1983 - 1989

Frank Gohlke's black and white photograph, *Aerial View: Blowdown and New Growth near Norway Pass, 9 Miles NE of Mount St. Helens, Washington*, is a striking image of the aftermath of the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens. The photograph, taken sometime between 1983 and 1989, captures the devastation of the landscape, with fallen trees and a barren hillside. The starkness of the image is contrasted by the new growth that is emerging, creating a powerful commentary on the resilience of nature. This photograph is a significant example of Gohlke's work, which often explores the relationship between humans and the environment, and the ways in which the natural world is constantly changing.
