Hello Daniel,
Sorry, was just coughing from the fumes!
Wow! This is an exciting and potentially dangerous place! The clouds are very dramatic and the rocks, rugged and jagged!
I like the way you have set the crater off-centre so the fumes can drift into the rest of the frame!
How did you get above it?
Kind regards,
Bev :-)
