This thread is amazing.

Sorry I don't have anything to contribute, but I just had to stop and say that. I'm a huge fan of photography, but these pictures are stunning. Humanity and Earth can be such startlingly beautiful things. It's easy to forget that in our day to day routines. This thread has certainly reminded me.

Nyiragongo Crater: Journey to the Center of the World

In June 2010, a team of scientists and intrepid explorers stepped onto the shore of the lava lake boiling in the depths of Nyiragongo Crater, in the heart of the Great Lakes region of Africa. The team had dreamed of this: walking on the shores of the world's largest lava lake. Members of the team had been dazzled since childhood by the images of the 1960 documentary "The Devil's Blast" by Haroun Tazieff, who was the first to reveal to the public the glowing red breakers crashing at the bottom of Nyiragongo crater. Photographer Olivier Grunewald was within a meter of the lake itself, giving us a unique glimpse of its molten matter.

30 Impressive 3D Sidewalk Chalk Artworks

Street painting, also known as pavement art, chalk art, and sidewalk art, is the performance art of rendering original and non-original artistic designs on pavement such as streets, sidewalks, and town squares with impermanent and semi-permanent materials such as chalk. The tree dimensional phenomenon started way back in the 16th century and the artists back then were known as street painters. Now it has a variety of names like 3D art, sidewalk art, and chalk art. Regardless of the names, all viewers come to one important conclusion; 3D art is mind blowing!
