Nature at it's most breathtaking

[Skygod44]

I think it's incredibly difficult to represent majestic mountains, terrifying oceans, and earth-splitting events in a little photo.

But post your attempts here.

Scenes/images that reminded you just how teeny-tiny we are.

And here's "my" volcano across the bay, doing just that.

Wow, beautiful! One of these days, I’ll make it up there to see this for myself!

Wouldn’t it be a bit unnerving living right there at the base of the volcano? Or is the shape of the mountain such that any debris from an eruption would go on the far side?

I've been here 20 years, so I'm used to it.
But yes, it's utterly insane being so close, especially if I tell you the last major eruption filled in part of the bay, changing it from an island-volcano, to a connected spur!
And the one before that resulted in house-sized ejecta flying as far as South Korea!

Another shot of "my" volcano.

Everyone slowed down for this eruption!

Almost looks like a shot near the Great Pyramids of Giza, John.
A truly awe inspiring image, expertly presented.

That's beautiful, John.
And probably tended more carefully than the real thing.

Very, very, very pretty John.


But whether it's "breathtaking" is heading towards The Battle of Subjectivity...
...just like in the Minimal thread.
