Mahawu Crater

Living in the Pacific Ring of Fire means living close to quite a few volcanoes, such as Mahawu. This is a favorite hiking destination for my parents since it can easily be done in an afternoon from where they live. As I took this photo from the rim of the crater, I could hear the bubbling of the hot center below. It's a steep climb from here down to the bottom, but definitely worth the effort.

  • Awesome! Wish I could have climbed it again with all of you.

  • I think what really makes this shot for me is the green crater lake in the center bordered by the grass in the bottom left corner and the darker shade of green of the grass in the top right. I would have liked to see a little more to the left to balance out the ridgeline on the right.

  • Yeah, good point about the left side. I actually cropped some out on the left in an attempt to cut down on the width. The only reason I did that was so that it wouldn't be too small. That's the problem with viewing it on the screen, as opposed to a nice wide print.
