Spirit of the volcano

Yasur Volcano, Tanna, Vanuatu, South Pacific -

Tanna is a very remote South Pacific Island in the Vanuatu chain. We were cruising the island chain in our 43 Nordhavn trawler. We arrived in Port Resolution on the SE side of the island. We had to check in with customs on the NW side. To get there we were in the back of a pickup truck going over and around mountains. As we were passing through the ash field of Mt Yasur I started rapid shooting in auto mode to see just how large the cloud would become. I did not see the face as I was shooting. When I was viewing the images on the computer I saw the face. The couple of frames before I could see the details forming, the frame after ,the face it was gone. just seconds apart. NO photo shop used only contrast and clarity. I think the volcano God let me know I was safe around there.
