misty Savo - a photo on Flickriver

misty Savo

for those that live in Honiara, the capital of Solomon Islands, the volcano island of Savo is an important reminder.

You see it every day, out there 10 or so kilometres off the coast of Guadalcanal. For me, t's a reminder of the hundreds of other islands out there across this amazing archipelago.

And it's also a reminder that this is indeed part of the Pacific 'Ring of Fire'. Savo is active - but not lava/fire active. The streams bubble hot water, the sand is black and it smells a bit.

I've taken plenty of shots of Savo during my two years living in this country, but this remains my favourite - flying north from Gudalcanal to Malaita at about 8am.

This image is one of over 300 images of the Solomon Islands featured in the book SOLO: life in the Solomon Islands by Tom Perry. More info: www.tomperry.com.au.
