Pyroclastic Fragmentation by bruceomori

An immense lava bubble explodes violently, casting expanding sheets of lava more than 100 feet across... spreading and instantly cooling... solidifying into paper-thin pyroclasts that fracture in midair, creating a cloud of glitter in the sky. This image is very similar to one I submitted awhile ago, although this is the next sequential frame in the burst... 1/10th of a second later, and it better shows the formation of sheets of glass before they shatter into glitter-like fragments. via 500px http://bit.ly/1GDUNEb

Terra… Not so firma by bruceomori

Terra… Not so firma. Lava exits a tube and flows into the sea, creating another new black sand beach and delta of land, forever altering the Big Island's coastline. This truly remarkable and dynamic scene is mesmerizing to witness, let alone shoot. Shoes: $175. Tripod: $950. Getting the shot: Priceless. : ) via 500px http://bit.ly/1BiWPWj
