The last of the volcanoes series...
Mud volcanoes appear mostly when gas pockets or gas deposits associated with oil manage to seep to the surface, transporting water mixed with solid material (mud, made mainly of clay and sand). Of course, these volcanoes are not hot at all, on the contrary, they can have temperatures that almost reach the freezing point. Their relief stands for 2-3 years, compared to tens of thousands of years in the case of the real volcanoes.
Still, the largest mud volcanoes have a diameter of 10 km (6 mi) and are 700 meters (2,300 ft) tall. But most of them have surfaces of tens of square meters to several hectares.
About 1,100 mud volcanoes have been detected on land (700) and in shallow water, but there may be much more than 10,000 on continental slopes and abyssal plains.
In Europe, mud volcanoes are found on the Kerch Peninsula (southeastern Ukraine) and northern Apennines and Sicily (Italy). Easily accessible are the mud volcanoes of Berca (Buzau, Romania) close to the Carpathians.
300 out of the world's 700 known mud volcanoes are located in Eastern Azerbaijan and the shores of the Caspian Sea. A 2001 eruption 15 kilometers (9 mi) from Baku spewed flames which were 15 m (45 ft) tall.
Mud volcanoes are also found in the mountains between Iran and Pakistan, China's western Uyghur province, Arakan Coast (Myanmar) and nearby Andaman islands and South Taiwan.

Buzz made from icing. Used skewers on each leg for support, and a bendable armature wire on each arm. Was pretty happy with how he turned out :)

Looking northwest towards Marin County from the Albany Bulb landfill on the east side of the San Francisco Bay. The tree line shadows reflected on the mud flats caught my eye.
Here in Ottawa ontario Canada, we are lucky to have such an amazing place. Its a wildlife conservation area in the middle of the city. Its my place to take great shots and recharge within nature.

Abused & Abandoned Jungle Dogs.
Just like kids laughing and playing in the mud.
They think this is big time funny and want me
to come on down and join them. Furthermore
they expect me to chauffeur them back home
in their sidecar then gently bathe them, kids ;-)-
Another trip to the field was planned for today
but it's pouring rain right now so we're on hold.
Thank you for your comments and donations.
Thank You.

Mud wrestlers during a bout at the Akhara Siyaram club on the banks of the Hoogly River in Kolkata. There are about fifty club members who treat the facility rather like a gym where they meet at around 5am to practice their training routines under the guidance of the guru, Jawala Tewari.

[10/365] Quest for mud!
For years I have longed for a picture with MX bikes and flying mud - my journey has come to an end.
My hard disk is full of countless shots of black dots to an empty background or flying mud with no context or meaning.
This picture is the shit!!!
Shot on “Stångebroslaget” which is an Enduro competition with over 2000 participants. I usually participate myself, but this year only my brother drove. My brother had his share of the mud and I had mine, but in a completely different way. Yes, I got dirty! ;)

The towering mud-brick walls of Dimai (Dimeh es-Seba) date back as early as the 3rd century BC foundation of ancient Soknopaiou Nesos, sited on a plateau north of Lake Qarun. The massive walls of the central temenos, dedicated to the crocodile-headed goddess Soknopaios (another name for Sobek in the Hellenistic Faiyum), are constructed in segments with curved courses for stabilizing the unfired bricks.
