Wow. It's a complete wonder to me that phenomenon as insane as this actually exist and occur on earth but which I've never seen before. These are images of a sulfur mine in the crater of the Kawah Ijen volcano in East Java, Indonesia, taken by photographer Olivier Grunewald.

Gives a little more color to this song here, which I've been listening to since I was 16 years old and which remains on most days just about the most far-out thing ever recorded.
