On the Edge of a Volcano

Robert Watcher

NO FENCES - NO BOUNDARIES - - - If you want to see the red hot lava at the bottom of this Nicaraguan volcano named Telica, you have to climb the steep rocky edges to the top and then edge your way over the lip of the huge 750 foot wide crater opening and look straight down.

After reaching the top, we hiked to the other side to view the sun as it set - - - then walked back to see the crater in pitch black darkness - before proceeding to head back down the steep incline of the mountain to our waiting truck.

To show how small us humans were in comparison to the crater, if you view this 360 Pano that I shot - and follow the path up (only the very top section of climb had a path to follow) - you will see people standing on the top - http://www.dermandar.com/p/dHNUzR/360-sweep-from-telica

Bob,

This is most spectacular with the people in it to give reference to scale and a sense of community. It must be an experience one would never forget!

and the camera you are using is an Olympus, waterproof and larva proof too! Any filters or your usual semi-grunge post processing?

Hi, Robert,

All just wondrous!
