•  InfoFew years ago Kalapana was a very nice, little town with blooming gardens at the Big Island on Hawaii. In 1990 it was buried by lava flow. Most homes were destroyed, but few including famous painted church were moved to other locations. When active lava flow moved out of Kalapana, few people came back and rebuilt. There are no roads, no any utilities in Kalapana. There is only w:lava, and now new lava is coming back. There are smocks at the background of the image. The smocks come from the vegetation that is getting burned by an active lava flow. Just few hundreds meters down new lava enters the ocean File:Three Waikupanaha and one Ki lava ocean entries w-edit2.jpg. It is interesting, if any adventurer soul will buy this property.

•  Oppose Poor quality, blurred, OOF, overprocessed? Lycaon (talk) 13:54, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you for the comments and for vote. I have no other better version. I'm afraid I do not know what OOF stands for.--Mbz1 (talk) 14:48, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Out Of Focus, I believe. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 15:06, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Thank you,Sarcastic ShockwaveLover. Now you see that I am not God :)--Mbz1 (talk) 15:12, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah, but you 'created everything', did you not? :} Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 15:52, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

Ah, I see. I've learned this format from Muhammad (not the Prophet), but our Muhammad. I guess I need to stop using this now. I did not create anything. The Nature has done 100% of the job.--Mbz1 (talk) 20:07, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

No, don't let one poor quality joke spoil your fun. I just couldn't resist pointing it out. Sarcastic ShockwaveLover (talk) 20:39, 22 March 2009 (UTC)

It is what I really think about some of my landscape images. The nature does all the work while I only try, but most of the time fail to capture the Nature on film. May I please ask you to continue with your jokes on me? I love jokes, and I would never get upset because of a good joke. Thank you.--Mbz1 (talk) 04:54, 23 March 2009 (UTC)

•  Info I cropped some blurry rocks in foreground. The background is a different story. There is an extreme heat at the background from the active lava flow and fires. It cannot be very sharp. Thank you.

•  Support I like this version better. --Notyourbroom (talk) 06:49, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose -- Sorry, but the image is too overprocessed, and there are highly visible JPEG-artifacts. _→AzaToth 14:33, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Support --Aqwis (talk) 15:32, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose Not salvageable, sorry. Lycaon (talk) 08:09, 24 March 2009 (UTC)
•  Oppose A very dark image. The 'for sale' sign by owner is very distracting. --Korman (talk) 05:07, 27 March 2009 (UTC)

• Actually I liked the for sale sign, but the quality of the picture is unfortunately not good enough. Lycaon (talk) 08:47, 27 March 2009 (UTC)
