Lava Canyon, Washington. This canyon was created long ago, then hidden for ...who knows how long, under a blanket of ash and mud. When St. Helens erupted in 1980, mudflows from the eruption swept through the area and cleaned out the canyon, making it visible again. No one knew it even existed until then. It's not an easy place to photograph. Challenging. Significant portions of the trail were closed when we were there last week, presumably because of winter. We'll be checking it out again this summer (the road leading to it has been closed since we moved here, three years ago).Today is the Fourth of December. On this day in 771, following the death of King Carloman of Austrasia, his brother Charlemagne, King of Neustria, assumed sole rulership of what became the Frankish Empire.
In 1866, Vassily Kandinski was born.
