Ciao Bob,
interessante documentazione di questa grande roccia vulcanica, molto bello anche il paesaggio con questa situazione siccitosa e con la foresta di abeti sullo sfondo; ottima nitidezza, molto belli e caldi i colori che danno l'idea di un clima arido.
TFS. Maurizio

Hi Bob.
Wonderful picture of the charming place and impressive rock. First I like nice colour palette, lighting and impressive shadows. You managed to reflect tiniest details of the main subject, dry grass and remote trees. Excellent Angel II. My best wishes and hanks.

It looks strange sitting there Bob - I would expect it to have rolled over in the last million years - it MUST be embedded quite deeply into the earth. And as it was thrown there it would have hit with an impact.
Interesting to see - thank oyu. And 105F - that is hot - I hope you're all ok up there.
Cheers
Janice

Hi Bob!

Looks like picture from Mars - all these red weeds around :-) Great subject. I've never seen volcano in my life - it must be something fascinating and dangerous [still remember Mt.St.Helen]. Good details and composition, interesting note.

Hi Bob. From the picture yesterday it look huge. Mind you i would not want that to drop on my head. I was going to ask if you had the full view and here it is. a good compostion showing its size against the trees in the distance.TFS.
Nick.. Stay in out of the heat.

I really like this environmental geologic portraiture.

I may have mentioned to you before that I am highly interested in Northwest geology because of its most unique connections to the geology of the other inner planets of our solar system.

This picture reminds me of those types of geologic connections. In this case it would be with the moon.

Here is another example you probably already know...
The Great Missoula Flood that inundated eastern Washington left flooding patterns visible from space that match up nicely with the great flood patterns on Mars due to huge global flooding that happened way back in its ancient past.

The Pacific Northwest is chocked full of geologic links to the other inner planets.

Dear Bob,
This unique image reminds me of "Deccan Plateau" very close to where I stay in Mumbai. The story is that in some parts of the world, there were cracks or holes (called vents) in the crust of earth. So, the magma emerged out from the mantle on to the surface of earth through these vents. This magma then got cooled and solidified to form igneous rocks. Enormous volumes of magma spread over a large surface area of earth produced a high level land called plateau, extending over several hundred square kilometres. The west-central part of India called Deccan Plateau was formed in this way by the eruption and solidification of magma over a long period. The thickness of these magma deposits in the Deccan Plateau exceeds 1000 meters. It is worth watching.....refer Deccan Plateau. Thanks for bringing these geological treasures to TN.

Hello Bob. Beautiful wide perspective of this frozen larva. I like the warm color with trees sitting on the sweet spot in the background. Thanks for sharing and warmest regards. Jusni

Namastay Bob,
Another nice angle capture of this volcanic rock. Very well composed with excellent BG and colors. Thanks a lot for sharing.

Sincerely

Hi Bob,
This is a superb shot of this volcanic rock lying there for probably centuries. The weather has taken its toll but it still stands tall - it reminds me of you and your composure. The bright sunlight is managed well and I like your POV. The distant trees add a fine dimension. Thanks for sharing.

hello Bob

i am going to see your previous post, coming to see this one,
going and coming, and for each image the different angles
you choosed it is giving me the impression that they where
two different rocks on two different places,

this image i love it more because of the environment
around the rock, because we see the wild nature,
and i love the contrast between the ground's warm colour tones
and the sky's cold colour tones, TFS

Hi Bob,

The volcanic rock in the foreground is like an aim leading us toward the trees in nthe background. The details and colors pof the rock are clear and sharp. The scenery is well frame. The luminosity brings out the colors. Have a nice day.

Hello Bob,
This is a beautiful composition showing this interesting vulcanic rock that seems to have ended up in the middle of 'nowhere'! I like the side light and the beautiful colours and the few trees in the grassy open area. It looks hot and dry!
TFS and regards, Ulla
