    Mt Nyiragongo at night by: riverstrails Views[447] Mt Nyiragongo at night by: riverstrails Views[495] These men have completed their second (and final) trip for the day to the crater and back, and now receive their wages in cash – approximately 60 cents (US) per kilogram, for an average US$48 per 12km return trip. A fortune in a society where the minimum wage is around US$100 per month, but at a huge health cost. by: kithamilton Views[716] At the rim, there is time for a short rest before the 5km descent to the weighing station. At the time of my visit, there were five heroes capable of carrying a 100km load. by: kithamilton Views[689] It is an arduous 1km climb from the mine up to the rim of the crater, with the workers carrying an average load of 80kg in two baskets slung across their shoulders. by: kithamilton Views[649]
     
    Risking diseases of the lungs, heart and eyes, miners extract pure sulphur as it emerges in molten form from deep within the crater by: kithamilton Views[688] Stunted trees line the rim of the Mt Ijen crater in East Java, while sulphur-drenched volcanic fumes drift over the azure lake. by: kithamilton Views[703] Just across Magellan's Strait lies the Pali Aike volcanic area, a reminder of the impressive natural forces which have shaped the local landscape. While millenia of erosion has left only remnants of volcanic activity behind in this particular site, with the Andes mountains nearby it's a poignant reminder of how small incremental changes, as simple as erosion from rain can, over timescales of such length to be unrecognisable to humans, reduce thousands of metres of mountains to the landscapes seen in this image. by: askdsn Views[1210] This solitary tree stands as a reminder of the power of a volcano, perfectly frozen after an eruption several years before. It is seen here on Pacaya volcano, a sister to the Volcano of Water in Guatemala. by: diplodocus85 Views[824] Dominating the skyline, the Volcano of Water in Guatemala stands guard over the city of Antigua, seen here though the Santa Catalina Arch. by: diplodocus85 Views[1000]
     
    View of a snow-capped volcano from Quito's bus terminal by: pmok Views[718] View from the terrace of Maria's home, could see Cayambe volcano in the distance. by: pmok Views[579] View of Cotopaxi volcano from Maria's home on a clear day, will be hiking that in August! by: pmok Views[511] The emerald colored crater lake at the top of Mt Ruapehu is a sight that makes the trek well worth it. The volcano on Mt Ruapehu erupts on average of every 10-20 years. Which makes witnessing sights such as this even more exhilarating. by: edschofieldphotography Views[768] Popocatepetl volcano just before the sunset by: crazysexyfuntraveler Views[470]

    In an effort to 'appease the Gods', locals sell bunches of flowers to tourists atop the still-steaming, active volcanic rim of Mt. Bromo. As the legend goes, throwing the flowers into the volcano acts as a sacrifice and keeps the volcano from erupting again. by: codename Views[724] In an effort to 'appease the Gods', locals sell bunches of flowers to tourists atop the still-steaming, active volcanic rim of Mt.

    (NOTE: All of these photos were shot using 4 x 5 Ilford FP4+ film on a Wista Camera. ) Welcome to Greece. Most associate Greece with idyllic blue and white villas sprawled over slopes that look over the Aegean Sea or else exotic sunsets and beach parties. In this set of 3 simple images I hope to introduce to you the Greece that many ignore. The soul of Greece lies in its landscape and natural wonders. Every part of the Greek landscape is intricately woven into the fabric of its mythic culture. This is one among a set of five 1000 year old olive trees found on the small island of Paros. As you drive from the town of paroikia to another little town on the island, Lefkes, you are enveloped by a row of olive trees so majestic that one wonders if this were not where homer was once inspired. The olive tree has long been an integral part of Greek landscape and hence Greek myth. From Homer’s Odyssey to the Iliad, from ancient Greek myth to present day Greek orthodox rituals, the olive has stood as a symbol of rebirth, purification and abundance. Even today, one of Greece’s most characteristic elements is the olive tree. It stands as a firm link between the past and the present – the mythic and the real. : by alisha, Views[772]
