During one of the numerous paroxysms of Mt Etna (Sicily, Italy), I
decided to spend the night filming the lava flow it generated. This
flow emanated from a new eruptive mouth that opened at
approximately the 2,800 m (9,186 ft) level on May 29, 2022. Though
these flows look ominous, fortunately the Bove Valley acts as a
container for the lava flow that would otherwise pour over the Etnean
towns. Photos taken on June 2, 2022.

Can you spot the sliver of the crescent Moon? Because it was only about
1.3% illuminated when this photo was snapped, at dawn on June 28, 2022,
it isn’t exactly conspicuous against the pumpkin-colored sky. As night
has now lost its grip, hordes of bats are returning to their caves
(could this be the source of the dark smudge at lower right?) and other
spooky, nocturnal creatures will soon be asleep in their lairs. Photo
taken in Yuen Long, Hong Kong, on June 28, 2022, at 05:12 a.m. local
time.
