Last week, we were sitting down for dinner when we realised that there might be something beautiful waiting to happen in the sky. We panicked a little as we decided upon where to go, mistakenly believing that the time was an hour later than it actually was. It wasn’t until we had rushed about getting dressed and packed that we finally realised we had an hour to spare.
The unpaved road was bumpy on the way there with a few large puddles but we managed to make it. This particular evening, we only had time to check out one large mudpot before the sun began to set. After that, we went downhill to explore some steam that was rising up. Afterwards, we went uphill to canvas another mudpot.
I decided to title this shot ‘Worlds of Tomorrow’, as whenever I set foot into a place like this, it makes me feel as though I am on another planet… or just an alien visiting this one!
