awesome abt.
Lava or gas? The smoke is dark as if it was gas. Nice shot anyway, at the right moment.
Świetna fotografia. Doskonale uchwycone zjawisko palenia krzewów. Pozdrawiam miło.
Awesome capture!
Gosh! You must have nine lives.
Oh yeah zooming is a must.
Fantastique !!!
Without this shot the world would miss how our island is formed. Old land is cleared and burned as the new land develops...excellent catch! Aloha~
Bush control with a vengence. lol q-: Excellent pic! (:
You said this was imminent the other day! Well done Errol.
excellent capture
@Flixthe...Interesting question. The lava flow does not have any smoke, just what it burns up. All the smoke from the magma is degassed from Pu'uO'o crater and the fissures before it exit as lava. My guess, black smoke has a higher concentration of carbon. As the fire completely burns out everything, the color of the smoke changes (less carbon?). Anyone got any answers? Hmmmm....Now you got me curious. Why are our storm clouds dark? Aloha
great shot!
wow, this is hot stuff, just awesome
awesome
Fantastic image I uploaded a new one too Drop by when ya can Hugs Susan~
I definitely can feel the heat! I do not think I could handle it in person. Amazing shot! Kinda looks like a firebird rising out. Well done!
Hot stuff as always! I can imagine a sound as well to add to the drama.
Wow! Great picture! As distructive as fire is it is also very pretty.
Like a fireball! Excellent shot!
Yeah right, the bushes wouldn't be the only thing that's gone... Awesome capture; one might be inclined to think you lit the fire yourself to get that perfectly timed shot...lol! Well done my man!
Just amazing--and you get to see it happening--wow!!
I think what you are seeing here are unburned particles swept up by the intense heat. Lava, by contrast, has no unburned particles. They are all reduced to the elemental magma. Storm clouds are dark due to dust particles I believe. Great shot! We could use a few of those flows to heat up Alberta right about now, ha ha!
whaleman....Being dark or white clouds depends on the optical size of the raindroplents and your viewpoint. When its about to rain or storm, the droplets are larger/more thus scattering the light from where it came from. It would appear dark if light doesn't pass thru. As for the black smoke, I wonder if we could call those unburn particles carbon which is a nonmetalic element. What is carbon? Thanks my friend.
Una forza dirompente !Excellent shot!
Una forza dirompente !Excellent shot!
I guess world-building has to have some concomitant destruction... Excellent shot!
Crazy great shot.
Spectacular shot. I hope your eyebrows are intact!
I do not know what whaleman is saing but this image shows clearly to stay out the way of lava or you will burn too. white or black smoke it makes no diff you will burn. wonderful shot
