Walking on the lava flow. Much of which is obsidian.
Newberry National Volcanic Monument was designated on November 5, 1990 to protect the area around the Newberry Volcano in the United States. It was created within the boundaries of the Deschutes National Forest and is managed by the U.S. Forest Service. It includes 50,000 acres (20,000 ha) of lakes, lava flows, and spectacular geologic features in central Oregon. These photos are taken from the summit Paulina Peak 7,985 ft, (2,434 m). Just below us are East Lake and Paulina Lake and The Big Obsidian Flow, created 1,300 years ago, covers 700 acres. It is hard to fathom as you drive through the summit area that you are within a 17 square mile caldera at the summit of a 500 square mile volcano, a volcano that remains very active to this day. Newberry is both seismically and geothermally active. Geologists believe the caldera sits over a shallow magma body only 2 to 5 kilometers deep. Visitors see numerous cinder cones (over 400 throughout the area), miles of basalt flows, as well as rhyolite flows of obsidian.
I discover the joy of dry suits - by the way I am taking the photo, of course I looked much more chic than that in my dry suit.
* Dry Underwater, Wet above*
My journey continues and I get drenched, rivers running through my feet, rain driving into my eyeballs, water dripping from my nose. A very small car pulls alongside me and winds down the window, dripping I peer into a very dry little cosy world.
do you want a lift?? the guy asks, I am somewhat taken aback as, number one my bike is bigger than his car and number two the water I have absorbed would probably fill his car and drown us both. I politely decline saying that it was not possible for me to get any wetter so I was OK.
What was odd was the next few days I was diving, discovering the joys of a dry suit which means you are under 30metres of water wearing your cosy clothes that are completely dry in your dry suit. The day I finish I cycle back to Kirkwall and once again get drenched so it seemed that I was dry underwater and soaked above for my first few days on Orkney.
This was at a little shop in downtown Quebec City...the wind was so strong the scarves flew every which way.
The flow of the river from Curug Sawer Waterfall, a few kilometers walk from Situ Gunung Lake, Sukabumi - West Java, Indonesia
Couple of things got me thinking tonight. My interest in WW2 came from my grandfather. Dave Screen. He was based at Scapa as the whole fleet was during these times and though his ship escaped the carnage here he was later torpedoed on HMS Liverpool.
I wont go into the details incase relatives of that day see this, needless to say though it was a harrowing experience.
I loved looking at his photo albums as I grew up and every morning id have him tell me a war story :)
I was looking at these shots and felt they were worthless, but now ive decided to try and make this one like one of Pops that I saw in his albums.
So here Dave, this is for you. Youll be pleased to know I can take the bookie regular, I drink like you (though I hate rum) I smoke like a chimney and im always getting in shit for something. :)
We will meet again, but not yet mate...not yet.

A stream of water flowing from camera left to right. Off camera flash (camera right) used to freeze the droplets, but enough ambient light (and long enough shutter) to allow for motion trails.
My sisters early bday present that I bought her this year.
