Which desolation, I adore the contrast collected between these stones full with spines, and these two quite round and smooth tops ;)

@DaveB: Indeed, I've been there too. Here it's more harsh. Thank you for visiting.
@Marhilde: Het handelsmerk (niet de naam) van die landstreek is ook de duivel ;-(=

Annie Viguié from Bordeaux, France
I like the contrast between the first ground rocky and the background , I like very much the smoothness shade of the hills

Earnest from Oklahoma, United States
What an interesting place... I assume an old lava field?
16 Nov 2008 2:19pm
@Earnest: I think not so old. The last eruption was some hundreds of years ago. Thanks for visiting.
San G. from Encino, California, United States
Beautiful image ... Rough territory. Did you do a lot of hiking through it? In California's Death Valley we have a "rough terrain" of salt which is hardened stiff, but it can cut you like a razor. It's hard to hike in. Is this rough lava stuck down or loose? Once again, wonderful capture of view and essence.

@San G.: We have gone there as far as possible by the entry roads. But its alomst impossible to walk through that terrain. The spiky lavarocks are about 1 mtr. or higher and indeed you tear your shoes and cut your legs and hands. Besides: I'm not a real tough hiker. The lava is real solid and the more spiky. Thanks for your comment and visit, and see you again.

JJ from Jersey City, United States
what an amazing landscape, the reddish colored hill in the background stands out, such an interesting landscape captured beautifully
17 Nov 2008 3:29pm
@JJ: Indeed, it's a 'moonscape' (or 'devilscape'?). Thanks. See you.
Kathryn from Warburton, Australia
really an amazing place! the red hill really draws your eye and the contrast of textures is very interesting!
17 Nov 2008 6:53pm
@Kathryn: And that's all made by some bigger and smaller volcanos.
Bye.
Erikou from France
Quelle atmosphère !, on se croirait sur la lune, après avoir attéri avec apollo 13 , Joli shoot ;)

Nice - it's like an alien landscape!
18 Nov 2008 4:43am
@Ken McCoy: It's indeed Moon- or Mars- like. You could expect to encounter some creepy stuff. Thanks.
Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
The falling lines and the bare rock surface give this a totally desolate look. A very impressive landscape, then.

@Andrew Gould: Thanks for comment and visit.
