Photo Albums (Pictureviewer):

The "Pictureviewer" interface is designed for fast and intuitive access to photography or sculptures. The main subjects are presented in this way. Using the viewer, the user can scroll down the selection bar on the left, viewing landscape orientation images first, and lower down portrait orientation images. By clicking on images, these can be displayed in the larger viewer format on the right hand side together with basic information and the picture number (important for sales enquiries). Navigation bars at the bottom allow access to the previous or following set or allow a return to this main index page.

1.

Volcanoes 1 - Nighttime Eruptions

Focus is on long exposure photography under low light conditions. Includes classic pictures showing trajectories of glowing volcanic bombs or the paths of incandescent material down the flanks of volcanoes, lava flows illuminating their surroundings at night, glowing lava domes etc.

2.

Volcanoes 2 - Daytime Eruptions

Focus is mainly on explosive activity or on rockfalls and pyroclastic flows emanating from Lava Domes. Many pictures of ash clouds and other volcanic ejecta.

3.

Volcanoes 3 - Lava

Focus is firmly on Lava flows in this section, taking the viewer from close-up pictures of lava flows showing the fine structures of the lava, to more expansive views showing the flow in its context.

4.

Volcanoes 4 - Hot Springs & Fumaroles

Focus is on volcanic hot springs, fumaroles, geysers and gas deposits. Aims to show phenomena associating with volcanoes when they are not in eruption. Particularly colourful images from hot springs are included.

5.

Volcanoes 5 - Volcanic Destruction

Aims to show the impact of volcanic activity on the surrounding infrastructure. Focus is largely on Montserrat, where activity of Soufriere Hills Volcano led to destruction of the capital Plymouth. The city was partially burnt by pyroclastic flows and has subsequently become buried in ash and rocks falling directly or being violently swept down the flanks of the volcano in the rainy season (Lahars).
