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 loved taking these shots at yellowstone, 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 mtns 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.
Taken in Santorini, Greece. Of all the sunset shots over the caldera, this worked the best. The soft light makes for a peaceful, tranquil feel. Taken with a Fuji Finepix S5700, and is ‘as is’. 1/640s, F/13.6, ISO200 Featured in All things poetic, artistic, philosophical, Colors of Water and SEA, late 2008. 200+ views, thankyou
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. I have more views of Santorini, just click on any of the pictures below to be taken to the page for that picture:
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.
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.
Sete Cidades crater and the twin lakes, with hydrangeas on the foreground. Azores islands, Portugal.

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.
The village of Oia high above the caldera of Santorini Island.
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.

On Santorini, one of those places that exceeds every postcard picture you’ve ever seen of it.
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…...... /
This is a photo I have been holding onto for a long time waiting to process. I finally decided how I wanted it to look so here it is! This is Lake George, in the Mammoth Lakes Basin, Eastern Sierras, Ca. Fly fisherman often fish off of this shelf. I was just starting a hike that passes the lake and this scene caught my eye. The mountain in the background doesn’t have an official name but I have heard it called Red Mountain before. There was a lot of mining activity there in the 1800’s and early 1900’s.

Wonderful place in Oregon, huge deep caldera lake in crater of dormant volcano. Theoretically the volcano might blow again, like Mt. St. Helen’s. So it is not always called extinct.
