The Contrast of the Ocean Blue and the White Ash !

by Kazu

The blue ocean and the white rocks created by the eruption of the volcano made a great contrast with the green hills around the crater. 

The trail from the crater to another peaks of the mountains could be seen from the hillside of the lava dome of Mt. Esan. It was so fine on that day that the coastline of Oshima Peninsula was so fascinating. 

The huge rocks on the lava dome continued to be carved by the winds and rainfalls. I hope the mountain continued to be safe for trekkers to stroll around.
