This is amazing. I love the colours! But yes, I'm not sure I'd risk the walk! I guess that would explain why my pics lack the excitement of yours!

Treading on dangerous ground to get your shot, that's what I call dedication. Great shot, looks quite surreal.

Nice shot! I like the narrative as well - the wrong coloured mud! The steam coming from the crater seems to have a blue caste. Was that something you added or did it have that colour at capture?
