Sleeping Giant. Mt. Rainier, Washington. Ranked as the #1 most dangerous volcano in the U.S. because of its eruption potential and proximity to large population centers, Mt.

One day, perhaps not long from now, Rainier will erupt as it has many times in the past and dramatically alter the pristine landscape visible here. © Ben Babusis, Lightscape Gallery.

LAKES

Southwestern Colorado has about as much character as you can squeeze into a place: from a rich gold mining history to a plethora of majestic 14-ers's to one of the most spectacular autumn vistas in the west. This image of Mt. Sneffles graced by colorful aspens was caught one beautiful autum morning off the highway near Ridgeway. © Ben Babusis, Lightscape Gallery.
