The four classical elements- Earth, Water, Air, and Fire ...

Taken from our boat early in the morning, the glimpse of a beautiful morning light on a dark clouded day enchants the colors of the orange lava fluids on Santiago island.

*Santiago has a terrain decorated with orange and black lava fluids. The orange ones are the older flows and have more vegetation like Palo Santo forest. The black ones are more recent flows and seem utterly barren. It is a classical volcanic island with a dominant cone top of 1000 meters located in the northwestern side of the island and with many ofther smaller cones.
(Source:Ecuadorian Journeys 2007 )

*The elongated shield volcano of Santiago Island, also known as San Salvador Island or James Island, is dotted with Holocene pyroclastic cones. Fresh-looking lava flows from these cones blanket the flanks of the volcano. The 920-m-high summit ridge, lined with a chain of NW-trending cinder and spatter cones, is located at the NW end of the island. Prominent flank tuff cones occur at the western and eastern coasts of Santiago. The most recent activity at Santiago has been concentrated at the NW and SE ends of the island. The spectacular pahoehoe lava flows at James and Sullivan Bays, on opposite ends of the island, were erupted during historical time. The James Bay flows were dated by fragments of marmalade pots left by buccaneers in 1684 that were subsequently embedded in the lava flows described by Charles Darwin in 1835.

Hi Selen

These craters are quite amazing and you have captured them very well. The framing is excellent and draws attention to the bleak volcanic landscape.

Hi Selen,
A barren yet beautiful landscape. The distinct layers of water, land, and sky, are well composed here. Colors and detail look excellent. A nice sense of depth to the scene. Nice shot!

Hola Selen. Los cuatro elementos aqui presentes lucen bellamente atravez de tu lente. Muy hermosa la foto. Felicidades. Luis52.

Dear Selen. This must have been a real spectacular sight to see close up. Your attention to the rule of thirds is good here.
Nicely presented.
Keep safe, and keep them coming.

Perfectos tonos y encuadre.

Saludos, JL.

Selen merhaba,
Çok etkileyici bir fotoğraf, alışık olduğumuz yüzey şekillerine benzemiyor. İlginç bir yermiş. Eline sağlık. Mustafa

Hello Selen,
The somewhat hostile landscape is well depicted!
Fine light and interesting details in the landscape...
I'm trying to figure out some kind of scaling, but it is hard to find a reference!
