One of the things you notice when you get to a lava field is that from a distance it looks like a big black surface, but when you get close, the opposite turns out to be true.
There is so much dimension, so much colour, so much variation in that big field of solidified lava.
This work shows very beautifully how much colour emerges from the depths of the earth as a lava field propels itself along the ground. How much beauty there is in the deepest, darkest and most devastating.
The ferns that emerge through the cracks are always the first plants to reappear, very slowly breaking down the lava back into fertile soil.
This is and process of many, many years, after which in time a rainforest slowly reappears.
This work was made at sunrise on a large lava field several decades ago on Big Island in Hawaii.
