The Weekly Photo Challenge from WordPress says Foreshadow.
Denna veckas fotoutmaning är att visa något förebådande. Inte lätt…men jag går tillbaka till Island för att visa min enda bild av hur en gejser är på väg att få ett utbrott. Det var ganska sent på kvällen, så bilderna är inte de bästa, men spännande var det.
Att försöka ta foto på när en gejser är på väg att få utbrott är svårt, för dels vet du inte exakt när det ska komma och dels går allt så ohyggligt snabbt. Dessutom får du definitivt inte vara i vägen för det heta vattnet…
Hot water pool – Strokkur waiting…
Foreshadow – well, this foreshadow, of a Geyser (Did you know that the word Geyser is derived from the first one known to spout in Iceland – it’s name was/is Geysir) going to spout, was extremely difficult to catch. The photos are from Iceland, and it is late in the evening so the light is not the best. We were waiting for Strokkur…but, you do not know exactly when it’s going to happen, and when it does happen, it happens so fast that you hardly have any time to press the button. And – it’s not a good idea standing too close the hot water coming up.
Strokkur – coming up!
This great bubble is the dangerous foreshadow of what is going to come within less than half a second…
Strokkur!

Very impressive. You really did a good job capturing it. 🙂
Difficult it was, and dark – but thank you. Your geysirs are even more impressive in NZ!
🙂
Spectacular!!!
It is, but scary too!
Lovely capture!
Thank you! Difficult all the way…but awesome.
woah, that’s very cool! 🙂
Thanks! A bit scary but awesome!
I love the sense of building drama….when will she blow….and then suddenly she takes us all by surprise, although we knew it was coming. You caught all this drama wonderfully in your photo sequence 🙂
Thank you so much, but it was late in the evening and the photo quality is not that good. At least you can see something of what it looked like.
Wow! That must have been awe inspiring! Great capture Ann Christine.
Too dark in the evening, but the only one I’ve got of the moment.
Impressive and you managed to snap a photo of the geyser, too.
Your Geysers in NZ are even more impressive – and not using detergents to spout…but I never got that close to them in Rotorua.
Yes, they are impressive. I haven’t been to see them for years 😦
Time to go…?
Not sure I can stand the sulphur smells anymore 🙂
They are …not that nice, no. Maybe your memories are enough!
Strong memories! I replied to your comment on my spring post on the post itself. So you may not get an email notification of my reply. Sorry about that. I replied twice to your comment. The second reply was the one that I put on the post itself.
OK!
Wow! This sequence of photos is really amazing! (I never knew that the root for ”geyser” was Icelandic! Very cool)
Thank you for commenting – much appreciated! Well, that might also be the only worldwide word coming from Icelandic. They do not import words in general and their own language is very interesting in many ways. I guess geysirs are not found in many countries so the name is appropriate!
”It happens so fast”- good to have rapid multiple frames per second for this purpose. Hope you had a good week off.
I had a good week off. Generous sun and lovely sea to swim in. Needed.
Cool!
Scary! But…cool OK!
Oj!
🙂
Jo…det gäller att inte stå ivägen…
Wow! Awesome. 🙂
Thank you, Imelda! It was a bit scary too…standing rather close, waiting…
