Hells Canyon National Recreation Area, OR - Hat Point Overlook - panorama from watchtower - the Snake River
This is a pool directly to the side of the active vents. Just off of the left edge is another fumarole vent. Plants grow right up to the edge of the Hell.
This was done with a crappy zoom lens so its not as crisp as i wished but the orange tinge the camera picked up maybe from the oil rigs lights that was just out of the shot, still gives it a cool effect
When separated from context, some things take on a serious context on their own. The fire on the black background is exactly how I captured it and for me it symbolizes the bowls of hell and superstition surrounding hell itself. This metaphor works in a way that is obvious but still effective, as it is quite a uncomfortable image to look at and it does raise these questions when it is looked at. Another thing that was interesting was that when I look at it, because fire isn't a static form, when I captured it as such my mind started to create forms that were not actually there, like faces and lifeforms. I know we do the same thing with clouds, so that seems like a strong connection to me.
