Years of architectural transformation finally took its toll on the Broadway Building, Portland, OR last night resulting in this beautiful but final eruptive extrusion transformation. Best when viewed full size. NB47817hss - Happy Sliders Sunday!
On the last day of our Hawaii trip we were lucky to catch the first day of Manua Loa's eruption after a 40-year hiatus along with Kilauea. But then a few days ago BOTH volcanos mysteriously stopped and scientists don't know why. Even more interesting is that Kilauea had been erupting for over a year.
Kilauea is erupting again, and it's amazing to witness in person! A nearly full moon provided lots of extra light, both on the clouds overhead and the lava surface below - surreal.
This picture was take at Reunion Island showing the Piton de la Fournaise. We observed this amazing event during the sun rise at around 5.45 am.
Found this little guy on a hillside and it made me think of its natural will to grow forth through all the debris.
I've just returned from my 27th trip to Iceland (yes!) - I nipped over to visit the erupting volcano at Litli-Hrútur and then spent a few days up in the Highlands. The mountains up there stretch out for miles, and sometimes you're able to get this wonderful view of the "landskein" - layers of these mountains drifting off into the distance. On this occasion I was able to see Hekla, the large partly-snow-covered volcano at the back; usually it's too hazy to see that far (about 30 miles away as the raven flies). How magical are those layers?!
The storm had almost passed on its way out to sea but then it emerged from behind a hinterland hill, the most violent spill of warm air for the day.
Four craters, being in one straight line, are erupting now at the same time. This one is number three in the fissure row, but it is the last one that started to erupt. It is somewhat comical to see that it appears that the lava flow seems to move upwards. However, there is a crater on a higher level that directs the lava to a lower level, nearby the one that you can see on the picture.
Fissures have opened one after another on a south west - north east line on the Reykjanes peninsula where movements of the tectonic plates cause the plates to drift apart.
Normally volcanic activities decrease and get gradually weaker after some time, but after more than three weeks of spitting lava, since March 19, the activities in the area get even more intense.
After around 50.000 earthquakes from very small up to 5,6 had been measured since February 24th, a volcanic eruption in the Geldingadal valley started in the late evening of march 19. The lava comes up from an exceptional depth of 15-20 kilometres. Earthquakes still continue but are rather small.
The blue haze and smoke is formed by sulphur dioxide that was hanging on the hot lava field due to little wind. Other emerging gases as fluor and not at least carbon monoxide can be very dangerous in valleys especially when there is little wind.
A dawn capture of Mt. Adams 50 miles away. Taken from Dege Peak at Rainier National Park.
"Mount Adams, known by some Native American tribes as Pahto or Klickitat, is a potentially active stratovolcano in the Cascade Range. Although Adams has not erupted in more than 1,000 years, it is not considered extinct. It is the second-highest mountain in the U.S. state of Washington, after Mount Rainier.
Adams is a member of the Cascade Volcanic Arc, and is one of the arc's largest volcanoes, located in a remote wilderness approximately 34 miles east of Mount St. Helens." Wiki
Have a wonderful weekend!

I put this image up because I loved the sun effect created by the camera.
On the day we visited the geyser, the next eruption was predicted to erupt at 12 noon. We positioned ourselves in the best place to take photographs and waited. Sure enough the geyser erupted at almost exactly twelve noon. I put up two images to show the difference in the eruption within a matter of a few seconds.
From Wikipedia -
Old Faithful is a cone geyser located in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, United States. Old Faithful was named in 1870 during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition and was the first geyser in the park to receive a name. It is a highly predictable geothermal feature; since 2000, it has erupted every 44 to 125 minutes.
More than 1,000,000 eruptions have been recorded. Harry Woodward first described a mathematical relationship between the duration and intervals of the eruptions in 1938. Old Faithful is not the tallest or largest geyser in the park; those titles belong to the less predictable Steamboat Geyser. The reliability of Old Faithful can be attributed to the fact that it is not connected to any other thermal features of the Upper Geyser Basin.
Eruptions can shoot 3,700 to 8,400 US gallons (14,000 to 32,000 L) of boiling water to a height of 106 to 185 feet (32 to 56 m) lasting from 1 1⁄2 to 5 minutes. The average height of an eruption is 145 feet (44 m). Intervals between eruptions can range from 35 to 120 minutes, averaging 66.5 minutes in 1939, slowly increasing to an average of 90 minutes apart today, which may be the result of earthquakes affecting subterranean water levels. The disruptions have made earlier mathematical relationships inaccurate, but have actually made Old Faithful more predictable in terms of its next eruption.
Démarrage de l'éruption de l'Etna du 18 mai 2016, alors que je remontais l'arête surplombant magnifiquement la Valle del Bove vers la Montagnola, photographie prise vers 2500m.
Start of the eruption of Etna on May 18, 2016 while I was going up the ridge overlooking the Valle del Bove beautifully towards the Montagnola, photograph taken around 2500m.

"When dawn erupts with sunshine, it fills our heart with warmth, hope, and happiness." ~ Author Unknown
Took this earlier in the month....and finally waking up to sunshine this morning after days of rainy, dreary weather. Couldn't imagine living somewhere where it rains all the time....seasonal affective disorder would do me in :-)
Have a great Wednesday....thanks for all your visits!!!!!
After a 3 hour drive from Coles Bay at brake neck speed we arrived at Dove Lake for a stunning sunset overlooking Cradle Mountain. The clouds looked like the peak was erupting. Today we trekked up to Twisted Lakes in blizzard conditions with the hope of a similar sunset only to find ourselves struggling to get back to the car park in the dark. Tomorrow we head back to Hobart with a sunrise before we leave a waterfall the break up the journey and a sunset a Mortimer Bay.

The last one from the March 28th Aurora hunting. This session will be remembered for the short burst of beautiful Aurora and extreme cold.
At the Mount Ontake, a volcanic eruption took place in the previous autumn before this photo was taken.

A Norfolk Southern SD80MAC trio pours on the power as the local crew pulls ahead to double up 110 loads of coal at Portage. There is another crew with two more SD80MACs on the rear of the adjacent cut who will make the double once the east end has cleared the switch. After a brake test, the train will head east onto the mainline and then reverse directions with the crew on the west end taking the lead. The 110 car train will ultimately head to South Fork where the crews will tie it down for the night. April 3, 2019.
