The best part of being a nature photographer is that it gets me to places that lie beyond my imagination. Standing on top of Mt.Ijen was mesmerized by the colors of the Caldera below. The color of the water is a result of extreme acidity. It is the world’s largest highly acidic lake with a measured pH as low as 0.5. The acidity is caused by inflow of hydrothermal waters charged with gases from the magma chamber below. And along its margins flammable sulfurous gases rise from an active solfatara. I was not lucky enough to witness the electric blue flame of molten sulfur that night but the colors at sunrise were spectacular
