This is really lovely and the title is so fitting to the scene.

It looks like God, or whomever it is you deem to call your creator, took a paintbrush and decided to slash therein dark hues of red, painting willy-nilly across the canvas.

Beautiful indeed. I specially like the horshoe shape formed by the gray ash and how the volcanic ash resembles shadows formed by clouds, in fact that is what I thought it was before I read the description. I also like the cool tones of the background

To all, thank you for taking the time to comment on our photo. We do sometimes get suggestions to crop the top, but we feel it goes perfectly with the photo. Yes, Katherine, the diversity here is nice and thank you for your resubmission. Yes Kirk, and thank you, as it not only shows what it looked like before, but also that life is able to reproduce itself after the devastation of a volcano. IF (and thats a big IF :-0) we did this climb again and captured this photo, I would not change a thing or crop a thing. Again, thanks to all! Blessings, James and Kelly

Profound! Surreal! Great POTD. Also, I, as well, totally, without a shadow of a doubt, agree with Katherine Lee Strassburg’s, from the heart, comments. Earth Shots surely “broaden my horizons. We are all so very blessed:)-
