a tongue flows from the skin *

lava, from five feet away *

the skin on the lava flow is beautiful *

here the skin melts as it flows from below *

the cooled surface cracks, revealing lava flowing below *

interesting forms on the surface of the lava
*

*

interesting patterns form in the cooling lava *

crack in the lava flow surface *

pure lava, not petrified wood! *
