Witnessing a volcano eruption 1km away

in #photofeed6 years ago

I was standing there for 3 hours just watching eruptions and taking long exposure pictures of Volcan de Fuego just 1,5 km away. Watching this live accompanied by the explosion sound and then hearing the hot rocks tumbling down the slope for a minute after the eruption is magical.

The same evening we went much closer at about 500m of distance. Wouldn’t go to sleep if not for the cold. Without exaggeration, this is one of my most memorable experiences to date. The rumor is that in few years it will be too dangerous and you won’t be able to see it that close. You decide what to do with this info ;)

This is a Dope Photo! Keep posting good content my friend! Check me out when you get a sec! 🙏🏾

Thanks so much! Will check you out when I get a chance, ridiculously bad WiFi and so many travels, barely enough for comments

Just a little bite of the power of gods.

Mother Nature is nothing to mess with!

Wow thats an amazing shot. Well done mate.

Thanks man!

Your trouble was so worth it! This photo is amazing!

Awesome shot, @olegnator! 💓 Very crisp and sharp. Seeing this with my own eyes must be terrifying and beautiful at the same time.

Thanks! It is one of my best nature experiences for sure!

At the first glance I thought those are fireworks. Holly heaven! That's fantastic! There are no words to describe it! Lucky you :)

It is magical indeed. No words, but some drone shots I took of an explosion 300 meters always will do a bit better 😀 will make a video later on

Looking forward to watching it :)
