Take a break, and give your eyes a treat. Check out these photo's of Volcano's. Thanks to the people that took these photo's. Sometimes we need to see something that can remind us of some of the beauty here on Earth.

View all the photo's here ->
National Geographic.com

I'll post a few of the ones I really enjoyed viewing.


Photo Gallery: Volcanoes




A bright bolt of lightning crackles within the ash cloud from the eruption of the Eyjafjallajökull volcano in Iceland in April 2010. Volcanic lightning occurs when roiling ash particles rub against each other and become electrically charged




Mount Semeru, seen with an ash plume, is the highest volcano on the Indonesian island of Java and has been in a constant eruption since 1967. It lies at the southern end of the Tengger caldera, which contains smaller volcanoes Mount Bromo and Mount Batok (both seen in the foreground), and several others.




Perched above the lighted city of Catania, Italy, Mount Etna hurls a fountain of fire skyward as rivers of lava spill down its flanks. In spite of its dazzling displays, Mount Etna is a relatively safe volcano with rare, compact eruptions and slow-flowing lava that gives people a chance to escape.





A volcanic eruption and the eruption of light from charged particles in the atmosphere—called the Northern Lights—occur at the same time in Iceland. The island nation was created by volcanic activity and today has 35 active volcanoes, which provide the country with plentiful geothermal power.

-Enjoy.

Wow! If more humans appreciated the absolute beauty of this planet they would feel uplifted.

I wonder why humans were given this fabulous planet, only to ruin it?

Well don't worry, beauties such as this will never cease. But always be created one way or another. Even when were gone.

There are some lovely pictures of volcanoes at this site:

homers.vox.com...

I've posted some of them before. Actually, all the galleries are worth a look. Martin Reitze is a wonderful photographer.

Sample picture:

Make sure you check the other's out too, all of them are great. Everytime I look at the first one with lighting, I am always awe-struck. I hope one day I too will be able to take photo's such as these and have people using them for there desktop background.
