This print captures the raw power and beauty of nature's fury. Taken on May 26,2016, on the French island of La Reunion, it showcases the mesmerizing eruption of the Piton de la Fournaise volcano. The image transports us to an uninhabited area where molten lava flows freely, creating a breathtaking spectacle. The intensity and scale of this volcanic eruption are evident in every detail captured by photographer Richard Bouhet from Agence France-Presse (AFP). The vibrant hues of red and orange illuminate the night sky as rivers of lava cascade down the mountain slopes. It is a reminder that even in our modern world, nature still holds immense power over us. The Piton de la Fournaise volcano has a history of eruptions, with its last significant one occurring on October 30,2015. This particular photograph freezes a moment in time when Earth's inner forces were unleashed for all to witness. Its horizontal composition allows us to fully appreciate the vastness and grandeur of this natural phenomenon.
