Martin Rietze aetn0999

I’m always amazed by how the nature can be powerful and destructive and at the same time offering sights of breathtaking beauty. Erupting volcanoes are one of the most fascinating natural wonders thus it is not surprising that a few photographers elected volcanoes as their main theme.
