Volcano, French West Indies, 2011

Dark, moisture-laden clouds contrast with the orange fire of a reflected Caribbean sunset here, expressing a eruptive mood. The volcanic island seems to be belching fire, even though all was actually quite calm as our cruise ship sailed by.

Iceland is also a volcanic island -- thanks for drawing the comparison here. I like your observation regarding how much we take the fleeting works of nature for granted. We always plan our days around sunrise and sunset, and I make sure that I am not one of those chatting over cocktails at such times as this.

Reminds me of some of my Iceland images. Nature gives us such a gift and it's there for the seeing. Probably the people around you were just chatting over cocktails and missing this beauty.
