On Santorini, one of those places that exceeds every postcard picture you’ve ever seen of it.
Occasionally, we encounter a world that is timeless – seemingly untouched by man. These worlds speak to a deep part of us, reminding our souls of eons long gone.

I used my Canon EOS Digital Rebel XT with EOS Lens 18 -55. / BEST VIEWED LARGE. TAKEN AS IS. I loved taking these shots at Yellowstone National Park, Wy., because the colors are amazing there, and the volcanic activity etc is also amazing…the park is not to far from where I live and I figure all the volcanic activity in my own mountains could even be related to Yellowstone. The earth is very much alive in this whole area. I mean several States, and if you hike you will find even more that you would never see any other way. Mother nature is full of peace and rage both, and this is a perfect example of that to me.
There is nothing more beautiful than a sunset view of the caldera, especially with a drink in your hand and the person you love at your side.
This is the most popular view of the Tengger Caldera in East Java. A caldera is a collapse crater from a massive volcanic eruption which accurs after the underlying magma chamber has cooled and collapsed leaving a huge crater, in this case about 30 Km across. You can see the crater rim crearly outlined on the left. The small smoking cone in the middle distance is Mt Bromo, an active volcano. The large smoking mountain in the distance is Mt Semeru, a 3,700m monster that erupts every 10-20 minutes. It is a tough climb, but woth the effort as you then get to see an active volcano from very close range. It’s not as dangerous as it sounds because the frequent eruptions do relieve the pressure, and large eruptions tend to occur after a period of low activity (but nothing about a volcano is entirely predictable). This is well worth a vist if you ever get the chance.
Homes perched on the caldera of a volcano. The volcanic colours of the soil meet the blues and whites of Mediterranean Greece. You may even see a few people sunbathing.
Imagine waking up to this view every morning. Some people have all the luck… Looking out over the Santorini caldera from Fira (the capitol). Santorini, Greece, is one of the southern most islands of the Cycladic group in the Aegean Sea. BEST VIEWED LARGER Related shots can be found at Santorini or Greece or Eastern Meditteranean.

Looking out over the Santorini caldera. Imagine waking up to this view every morning.

Looking out over the Santorini caldera from near Akrotiri. Fira (the capitol) is on top of the hill just off centre right and Oia can be seen at the far end of the island on the left. Santorini, Greece, is one of the southern most islands of the Cycladic group in the Aegean Sea. Related shots can be found at Santorini or Greece or Eastern Meditteranean. This shot has been posted before, but on advice from Julie Langford I have decided to re-post it here. It is one of my favourites, so I hope you all like it. Best viewed Larger.

Featured in Alphabet Soup – April 20th, 2009 / Featured in Hawai’i ~ Aloha Na’au – March 2009 When asked about Hawaiian volcanoes, most people imagine the Island of Hawai`i and its eruptions at Kilauea or Mauna Loa volcanoes. But East Maui volcano has witnessed at least ten eruptions in the past 1,000 years. It is the giant volcano that peaks out at over 10,000 feet and looms over Maui. Haleakala last erupted in the 1790s. It is 33 miles wide and 24 miles long, and the main crater is 7.5 miles long and 2.5 miles wide. / This is how the crater looks like right after the sunrise, around 6:30am. / / Featured in Hawai’i ~ Aloha Na’au group.

My wife is a middle school natural science teacher, this image was taken for a teaching aid for her class. This image gives one an idea of the size of the volcanic caldera which makes up the central portion of Yellowstone National Park. The image was taken from Dunraven Pass located just north of the northern caldera boundary the horizon is the south boundary of the caldera. The caldera is about 30mi (48.3km) by 45mi (72.4km) across. It last erupted about 640,000 years ago sending 240 cubic miles of debris into the earths atmosphere. It appears to erupt every 6 to 800,000 years Hum…...... /

The caldera is a dormant volcano. This view is in the town of Oia. Many archeologists believe that the lost continent of Atlantis lies submerged here. This image was used as a book cover on a book series entitled Travelers’ Tales.” It graced the cover of “Travelers Tales:Greece.” The houses of Oia are built into the sides of the island’s northwest cliff, thereby maintaining a cool temperature in the summer. This was photographed with a Nikon F3 using elite ektachrome, 100 asa, 1/250sec @ f/11 in Sept of 1997 at around 3:30 – 4 pm.
Spectacular Upper and Lower Falls in the Caldera area of Yellowstone NP. Superb hike to this point and to the Lower falls by steep sided pine filled canyons. Best viewed large.
Best when viewed larger. If you look to at the right hand corner of this picture you will see a sign titled “Caldera Climate” that gives you information about what you are looking at when drive this part of the scenic Rim Drive around Crater Lake National Park. The left hand side of it reads as fallows; / “You have reached the highest elevation on Rim Drive – 7865 feet (3397 m). Here at Cloudcap Overlook you have an almost aerial view of the steep-sided caldera of the fallen Mt. Mazama and the lake it holds. / You are now looking west the direction from which winter storm approach the caldera. Each year they blanket the park with an average of more than 500 inches(1270 cm) of snow. However , the lake rarely freezes over. / During the short summer, rainfall in the park is minimal. Clouds give us most of their moisture on the western slopes of the caldera; the eastern slopes on this side are noticeably drier. Summer temperatures in the park are moderate, with highs seldom exceeding 85°F (29°C). At these high elevations, temperatures drop below freezing nearly every night of the year.” / The rest of the sign shows you, the key land marks around the rim, a picture showing you the depth of the snow in the winter months. Also about the whitebark pines on the slops and a 35ft. tree trunk known as “The Old Man of the Lake” that since 1929 and probably longer that has been voyaging around Crater Lake propelled by the wind and currents. / This picture was taken on a guided tour around Crater Lake National Park in the state of Oregon on September 9, 2009 with a Canon SX10 IS. Shot In Panoramic (Stitch Assist) Mode. Used Canon PhotoStitch software.
