Volcano – l'atelier tanu

Weekly Photo Challenge: Forces of Nature

This beautiful lake is not just a common dammed lake but in a caldera volcano which is now safe. Over the last few days, a small area of the mountain has been placed off-limits because of volcanic earthquakes. I hope it is going to be calm again soon.

The next one looked similar to the first one but this is not a volcanic lake but a part of a fjord, that is the sea. The nature always comes as a surprise to us.

Weekly Photo Challenge:Endurance

9/21, 201410/13, 2014 tanu

To say endurance, Mt Fuji may not be a proper topic because it is not a dead volcano but just inactive today. Here Yokohama is 50 km far from the mountain and it is said that ashes from the volcanic eruption fell 10 cm (4 inches) several centuries ago. Probably as you know, the earthquake happens sometimes in Japan. One of the reason is the islands of Japan are on the edge of crustal plates and, in some cases, activities of volcanos are related to this condition. In order to make buildings endurable, ancient people chose a wood to build them instead of rocks.
