Manmade color placed within a monochromatic landscape comes as a shock to the senses. I chose this photograph in direct contrast to the previous image. As we sailed into the flooded caldera of Deception Island – actually a huge underwater volcano -- dark skies splashed wet snow upon the black and white sides of the caldera. Suddenly, what seemed to be a mirage appeared through the thick snowflakes falling on the distant shore. A brilliantly colored cluster of buildings— a Spanish research station – incongruously presents a dreamscape of an entirely different nature.
