Excellent variety of art on the volcano theme.
Of all nature's shows of strength, there's none more visual than a volcano.
Very profound impressions indeed.
I live in a place formed by volcanoes. My backyard is carved out of lava from a massive eruption 6,000 years ago.
The tallest Cascades are usually volcanoes. To the west. To the east of me, extinct volcanoes which once flowed under a sea which is no more.
Makes for some really awesome scenery.
