We have been watching this volcano (Mt. Redoubt) act up all day yesterday. I only live a block away from the bluff and so we take some hot cocoa, the camera, and watch it do its thing. We called some friends over who have just moved to Alaska to come down to the beach with us and watch it. This was my favorite shot of the day. I love how high the waves are crashing, the sunset, the volcano and B just taking it all in.

Redoubt doing its thing! BSM.

WOW! What an amazing thing to witness – and that is a stunning shot.
Wow! That is crazy! I love the colors in the sky and the choppy ground almost makes it look like the observer is actually standing on the water. Very cool shot!

i don’t think i can think of anything more cool to do while drinking hot chocolate! amazing shot!
nature in all of its glory….I would be ok to watch it from a distance.
Wow, what a gorgeous shot and a gorgeous space. Excellent capture!
It must be a bit scary to live so close to an active volcano, but thrilling at the same time. I would love, love, love to see it! I hope you’ve got all your safety precautions line up in case it does more than blow off some steam.
We live close to several volcano’s. Our first year in Alaska Augustine erupted, that was scary. Now I am used to it and if the locals get nervous, I will too. So far no one is worried and they have all lived through a big one about 20 years ago.
Leaca,
This is such a fabulous, beautiful photo.
And I love pics like this that are a piece of history!

And the colors are AMAZING!! I’ve never seen a volcano in real life….this is the next best thing!
I love B’s silhouette, it really adds so much to the photo by offering a little scale.
