Here it is in 2003 during ecurbh's visit here. Just one lava dome in the crater. No glaciers or permanent snow inside the crater in summer, just a little on the outside.
2005 when Overtaxed was here... - a little hard to see, but the first dome is in front and the second dome has grown in the back.
Last year 2006 when Becky was here... the third dome had formed and was very round.
And this week. That third dome has continued to grow. The mountain is slowly filling back in :~)
I think even though there were clouds, the air was so much clearer it was a better day when Becky was here.. it was pretty hazy there this week, I had to play with the exposure and contrast quite a bit to get the details to come out in the last picture. That's why the color tone is different.
I think it's interesting to note the changes throughout the years. Also interesting, it was July 13, 14 or 15 the last three years we've gone. Something keeps drawing me to the volcano the same week in July every year ;~)
