Piece description from the artist
A quiet creek winds through volcanic rubble, framed by dark pines and a brooding sky. While this scene looks calm, hidden behind the fog is mighty Mt. Rainier, and pressure is building.
Mt. Rainier is one of the most dangerous volcanos in North America. When it erupts, and it’s due, this valley will fill with a hellish sludge of mud and lava called lahar. The sound will be deafening as pyroclastic flow rolls through the open spaces at terrifying speeds, consuming everything in its path. In seconds this landscape will be completely changed, and this photo impossible to recreate.
Mt. Rainier National Park, Washington
Currently located in Washington, DC, Scott is a native Floridian photographer specializing in landscape photography. His work explores the interplay of light and dark — rejecting the notion that photography is just “painting with light.” He seeks what resides in the contrast — the liminal spaces of the world.
Scott has shot in some of the most beautiful locations in the world, including Iceland and locations throughout the Old World. But some of his most inspiring locations are right at home in America's enchanting National Parks.
