Most landscape is finished business — mountains done rising, valleys done deepening. Volcanic ground is the exception: crusts that cooled within living memory, vents still exhaling, hillsides in mineral colours that look borrowed from another planet with better pigments.
This set collects the aftermath rather than the eruption — black beaches, moss taking its first green foothold on a lava field, geothermal pools ringed in improbable orange.
There is something oddly steadying about raw creation as a backdrop. The ground in these pictures is younger than some of your apps, and it is doing fine.
