The Kozushima Island located in the 180km south of Tokyo, and it is a volcanic island of 18 square km. This island is covered to the thick rhyolite lava and pyroclastic flow deposits that a lot of small volcanoes erupted. A representative volcano of Kozushima Island is the Tenjyousan volcano, and it is about 570m above see level. The latest eruption of a Tenjyousan volcano is A.D.838. And a largescale landslide is occurring now. The photo shows a southeastern side of a mountain and collapses in to the Takouwan bay. 神津島は東京の南180kmにある、小さな火山島です。島は、流紋岩質溶岩と火砕流堆積物で覆われています。いちばん大きな火山は天上山ですが、この火山の最新の活動は西暦838年でした。現在の天上山は、いたるところで崩壊が進み、写真の南東斜面では、多幸湾に崩れ落ちています。 |

No, not kidding - there really is a large volcano in those clouds.
This pan is taken from the Johnson Ridge Observatory, which sits in part of the area devastated by the 1980 eruption of St. Helens: trees in this area were snapped in half by the landslide/lateral blast, and later covered by a pyroclastic flow. A visitor's center (and a nice one at that) sits on the ridge now. The visitor's center is about 10 miles from the center of the crater left by the eruption. The pan gets darker to the right if only because the weather was drizzly when I started and raining sideways when I finished. But I couldn't leave MSH without a pan! |

On the foot of "Pas de la Faye" lies this nice little town, Saint-Vallier-de-Thiey. |

Hi Z.: Diese Bergflanke (snapshot) ergab einen tollen Massenfund von O. subvinosa (#1226). Mit etwas Glück gibt es auch O. vinosa von hier, auch an Pinus-Ästen. An Buxus sempervirens (um den Aufnahmestandort herum) war eine Orbilia, wohl eine serpentina (z.Z. non vidi). Eigentlich sollte das hier ein typischer Lilapila-Standort sein, verharzte Wunden gab es in Mengen, aber Lilapila liess sich nicht auftreiben. Der Col (links im Bild, von Felsen verdeckt) liegt auf c. 1045m alt., die Sammelstelle(linke Bildmitte) auf 1080m alt. |

As the Laurentide glacier retreated from the Champlain Valley 13,600 years ago, the ice damned the valley and Glacial Lake Vermont rose to about 170 m (550 feet) above sea level, which is the elevation of the camera. This sand and gravel was carried by an ice-marginal river that built kame terraces until it reached the lake where it dumped fine sediments into the standing water forming a delta more than 4 km long.
This quarry is the source of material that is spread on snow-covered roads in Salisbury. It is being sorted and stockpiled this month. Notes: I used a Nikon D40 with Nikkor 300mm f/4.5 AI-s lens, f/8, 1/160 second, ISO 200, NEF. 35mm equiv is 450mm. Field of view set to 3 degrees. |
