The photo was taken at low tide. This shows off the reflection in the natural pool particularly well. This is a very quiet place on Tenerife's south coast, a bit away from the big tourist highlights.
Genovesa Island, its sandy coral beach with a great viewpoint of the bay, is one of the Galapagos’ jewels. It is also known as the “Bird Island“ offering the opportunity to enjoy the most representative birds of Galapagos as: Puffball–chicks, white both yellow–crowned and lava herons, Red footed boobies contrasting with the Nazca booby and also the Swallow–tailed gulls, the only nocturnal gulls in the world that will be nesting at the cliff’s edge.
Santiago Island has the biggest and longest lava flow, which is located in Sullivan Bay. Geologically speaking, this island is one of the most beautiful and unbelievable formations. The vast basaltic landscape performs smooth and unbroken surfaces with undulations and nods formed by the fluid lava that created the sculpture. It is located on the central west of the archipelago and is formed by two overlapping volcanoes. It is the 4th biggest of the Galapagos archipelago.

Looking S from the edge of Lava Butte's crater.
"Lava Butte is a cinder cone in central Oregon, United States, just west of U.S. Route 97 between the towns of Bend, and Sunriver in Deschutes County. It is part of a system of small cinder cones on the northwest flank of Newberry Volcano, a massive shield volcano which rises to the southeast. The cinder cone is capped by a crater which extends about 60 feet (20 m) deep beneath its south rim, and 160 feet (50 m) deep from the 5,020-foot (1,530 m) summit on its north side. Lava Butte is part of the Newberry National Volcanic Monument.
In July 1966, twenty-two astronauts trained in Central Oregon for the upcoming Moon landings, at sites including Lava Butte, Lava River Cave, and Newberry Crater." Wikipedia
Have a wonderful Wednesday!

A lava lamp is a decorative lamp, invented in 1963 by British entrepreneur Edward Craven Walker, the founder of the lighting company Mathmos.
It consists of a bolus of a special coloured wax mixture inside a glass vessel, the remainder of which contains clear or translucent liquid. The vessel is placed on a base containing an incandescent light bulb whose heat causes temporary reductions in the wax's density and the liquid's surface tension.
As the warmed wax rises through the liquid, it cools, loses its buoyancy, and falls back to the bottom of the vessel in a cycle that is visually suggestive of pāhoehoe lava, hence the name. The lamps are designed in a variety of styles and colours.
Lava lamps are often associated with hippie culture and cannabis culture.
Raspberries' cave (Grotta dei Lamponi), on Northern Etna (1762 aslm), is one of the longest scroll galleries of Mt. Etna and one of the most fascinating and "educational" as well.

I was visiting the Big Island of Hawaii with some friends and family, and my brother convinced the group to take a lava tour by boat. I always kind of balk a little bit at overtly touristy stuff like that, but I think everyone was a pretty shocked when we got our first look at the Kalapana Lava Flow after about a half hour boat trip down the coast. It’s such an awesome, phantasmagorical sight and, since they actually get surprisingly close to the spots where the rivers of lava meet the ocean and throw up sulfurous steam clouds, also a pretty visceral sensory experience.

Took this on the way to the small water falls in Bald Knob Arkansas that my brother took me to for out photo shoot excursion.
Floreana, Galapagos Islands
The Galapagos subspecies of the Striated Heron is commonly called the Lava Heron due to its dark plumage that camouflages it against the sharp lava rocks that coat the shoreline of the islands. This individual had no fear of humans whatsoever.
In the background from left to right are South Sister, Broken Top and hidden behind the trees is Mt Bachelor.
Lava Lake lies in the Cascade Range about 25 miles (40 km) west-southwest of Bend in Oregon. It is a close neighbor of Little Lava Lake, from which it is separated by solidified lava. Lava Lake is at an elevation of 4,740 feet (1,440 m) in the Deschutes National Forest. The lake covers 368 acres (149 ha) to an average depth of 20 feet (6.1 m).
Lava Lake, Little Lava Lake, and other nearby lakes were formed after lava flows from Mount Bachelor altered drainage patterns in the area. Solidified lava flows are visible along the shorelines of both lakes, and the volcanic peaks Broken Top and South Sister can be seen to the north.
From the volcano eruption in Geldingadalur, Iceland. This is from my second trip there, in May in a flight. The crader is much bigger and the eruption is pulsating but the lava flow is steady. The area I walked on in the first time is now under lava. It was snowing most of the time, making photoshooting not easy.
Lava flows are commonly classified into two types according to their characteristics. Aa lavas have a rough surface, whereas pahoehoe lavas are "characterized by smooth, gently undulating, or broadly hummocky surfaces" (Britannica). Here is a rare view of pahoehoe lava forming. At the top is a thin solidified "skin" of smooth lava above a cooling lava pond. The pond has a grey leathery surface, but underneath the insulating roof it is still a red-hot liquid. The names aa and pahoehoe are Hawaiian and used as geological terms; the corresponding names in Icelandic are "apalhraun" and "helluhraun". Hawaiian names are wovel-rich and nice-sounding, so they have found favour in the scientific canon.

Iceland also stands for high volcanic activities such as bubbling mud holes, stinking sulphur chimneys, smoking lava fields etc.

Eldhraun: How Did it Happen?
Indeed, you don’t run across kilometers of endlessly sprawling green woolly fringe moss covering volcanic lava every day. So what were the geological events that took place which caused this otherworldly, one-of-a-kind popular Icelandic sightseeing destination?
This special place started like any regular Icelandic lava field does: with a volcano erupting. Although this particular event was especially traumatic for the island.
It all began with the Laki eruption, probably the most poisonous eruption Iceland has experienced in historical times. This cataclysmic event took place from 1783 to 1784, and the fallout was immense. Not from the explosion of fire, ash, and subsequent lava flows, but rather the crop failure, disease, and starvation that came afterward. The aftermath was devastating, wiping out 20-25% of the island’s population and nearly 80% of domestic animals.
The eruption was so massive, that allegedly smoke from its ash cloud traveled to France. Supposedly when it blocked out the sun, people thought the world was ending, and this contributed to the French Revolution.

This is a closeup of a piece of glass made from the lava from the eruption of Mount St. Helens in 1980. It's beautiful on its own but I put a light behind it to bring out the colors for this photo.
It's SOOC because I loved the way it came out.
