PHOTOS: Chile Volcano Erupts With Ash, Lava, Lightning

May 6, 2008—After 9,000 years of silence, Chile's Chaitén volcano (pictured on May 3) is erupting with lava, ash—and lightning (full story).

Since the volcano awoke on May 2, it has continued erupting intermittently, blanketing the area in ash and forcing more than 4,000 people to flee.

The little-understood storms may be sparked when rock fragments, ash, and ice particles in the plume collide to produce static charges—just as ice particles collide to create charge in regular thunderstorms. (More: "Volcanic Lightning Sparked by 'Dirty Thunderstorms,' Study Finds" [February, 2, 2007].)

The mingling of lightning and ash seen above may be a "dirty thunderstorm."

Lizard crawls out of mouth of a caught fish

clipper's remarks: "I said, 'Hey, John, the skink's alive.' John said, 'Wow man, it just blinked at me, and look, it's breathing.'"

The lizard began to struggle and with a little help from the fisherman it crawled from its captor's jaws. There were some teeth marks down its back and the tail was partially digested, but when they put it back on the river bank it happily scurried off.

"We witnessed the ultimate will to survive," Simson said. "The skink had probably slowed down its heart rate in order to stay alive for that length of time underwater without air."

There are more amazing photographs of Simon's fishing adventures on his Web site at www.kettafly.com.

I couldn't clip the photos from the Courier Mail. Worth viewing.

An American angler on a fishing expedition in Australia made a fascinating catch: As he was taking pictures of his prize, the fish began to regurtitate a lizard, which moments later crawled out of the fish's mouth.

Visiting American angler John Berzins was fishing with guide Al Simson in the Doughboy River on the western side of northern Cape York this week when he hooked the fish.

While admiring the fish, it started regurgitating its last meal, which clearly should have been dead and looked dead with its lifeless eyes.

The small skink had been swallowed by the fish in a remote Cape York river and already was partially digested when the fish was caught by a fisherman. The saratoga is much-sought-after by sports fisherman because of its willingness to attack anything that moves and its fighting qualities.

"As I was looking through the lens of the camera I noticed that the once-glazed over eyes of the skink were now black," he said.

When my daughter Alison was born, in the tradition of a new parent, I began to photograph her, initially in a separate and private body of work. However, in the process of documenting Alison's growth, I developed a passionate interest in human relationships and capturing intimate moments in the lives of family and friends.

My photographs of Alison, because of the nature of our relationship, are very much a father-daughter collaboration-Alison permitting me access to private moments of our life, which might, under different circumstances, be off-limits to a parent. The camera, early in her life, became part of our relationship, necessitating in me an acceptance, a quietness. We've never had long photographic sessions, but rather moments alone or with friends.

I realize as I look at them, that I created a visual life story of Alison, capturing moments in her metamorphosis from infant to woman-her relationships with friends, her rebellion, and underlying it all, her relationship with me

Kimiko Yoshida: Never a Bridesmaid, Always a Bride

Photographer Kimiko Yoshida has been playing dress-up for a long time. She also snaps a lot of pictures of herself. Yet with all those costume changes, the character she plays is almost always the same.

Yoshida’s online gallery holds more than 150 stunning self-portraits of the artist dressed as brides from different cultures throughout history. Thought-provoking, even mesmerizing, these photos represent nearly 10 years of fantasy and personal discovery for an award-winning artist who’s literally married to her work.
