Fiery sunset on the top of Etna

Not only does Etna light up with lava. Thanks to a clear evening and the presence of volcanic activity on the summit craters, I managed to capture the multiple shades of the sunset. They are tinged in the sky reflecting on the mixed clouds of water and dust coming from the top of the volcano. This image was made by capturing the sunset over the course of about ten minutes during which the light changed from soft orange to deep pink. In the meantime, the sun has set behind the southwestern edge of the Valle del Bove, casting its shadow through a strong twilight ray. The final effect is reminiscent of a tongue of fire which adorns the top of the southeast crater with colour.
