Taking a Walk on the Wild Side
At the base of the volcano amongst the boiling hot pools and smoking sulphur, this woman was taking a walk.
Not sure where she was going or maybe where she had come from, but I doubt if she was doing it for her health.
The sea water is bubbling and the smell is quite noxious - not a place to go for a jacuzzi.
My server is not connecting and am using another one to post which has only a small download limit. Hopefully when the business houses are closed tonight I may be able to connect to my main one and visit.

Wow! What a spectacular place to go for a stroll, Jules.
Smelly, perhaps, but nice and warm.
Oh, how interesting, and intriguing too.
The fumes and geothermal activity remind me of NZ.
Saw your comment at Cabacurl's re the We Say Sorry day. Thumbs up.
Definitely warm Dive, burn-ya-bum- off-warm!!!
Hi Nathalie - great to hear from you again!!! Tried visiting you but couldn't download all your photos - will try again another time.
Nice photographs. I enjoy your posts.
Heck, I thought you could swim in the heated water. Seems that the water is more like heated sulphuric acid ?
Not too many of us have volcanoes next door so this is a learning curve.
Hope the tummy is recovering 'rapidement', Jules.
Like I said....bugs and volcanoes....you just can't beat that for excitement!! Very nice photos and she does look like she is enjoying her walk.....you can almost smell the sulphur! So glad you are feeling better......good to see you!-
Oh My!! Hope she was alright! I don't think I would have gotten that close to all that heat!lol It gets pretty hot here in Texas but not That hot!! Have fun love!!hughugs
Because it's the wild side, I guess I wouldn´t say no to a walk there!
The woman is very beautiful; I wonder why she walks here
This lady looks like Queen Elizabeth... She might have been pushing Philip in the water...
wow..
excellent images...
Great capture Jules.
Her expression is very intriguing...

I wonder what her purpose was? And the sea bubbling like that - I'd never seen such before.
great photo's. hope you don't mind me putting a link on your sote on the Rabaul hotel website i'mm currently designing.

Some truly amazing pics Jules. Rabaul looks like a lovely place to live and teach English. Is there quite a demand for EFL teaching in Papa New Guinea? Thanks for visiting Toruń DP here in Poland!
Have just discovered your blog Jules, and it has brought back many happy memories of my childhood on a cocoa plantation near Kerevat. I'll definitely be back and indulging in lots of nostalgia. How long have you been there?
earthboy rod - that would be fine. Bruce and Suzie are good friends and i would be honoured!!!! I will put a link to them here if you let me know the details. I took a heap of photos for them when they were planning their web page.
jenan - hi - we first came to PNG in 1995 and except for an 18 mths stint back in Aust have been here ever since - 8 of those years here in ENB
I have lots of ex-locals visiting and it is great!!!
Glen - not really as everyone speaks English here. I am an English support teacher in a primary school so do learning support, English teaching support in the classrooms, professional development with staff etc
Gosh i wonder too what she was doing. My guess is that she's been taking this walk over many years.
Happy Valentines Day to you and all your family.come and see my Valentines message
The last photo in the series is very interesting. Take another look at it; to me it looks like there is a huge face in the rocks. Maybe I should see a shrink or an optometrist.
Your site is very interesting.
No chance that the smelly stuff might do you good? I hope Benson was not too miffed at being removed.
Carry on "supporting"...I think you like it ;-)
I enjoy visiting your blog and watching your photos, which are always so "exotic" to me. I like it over there!
Great post, Jules. Your pictures teach me so much! Glad you are feeling better.
It's definitely a captivating scene to me, Jules! Didn't know that volcanoes can look so good in photo!
This is a wonderful portrait. The woman's dress is intricate and really quite fabulous in design.
I fear Tom will be off to the tower with that comment.
Whoever the lady is she must have heatproof feet!
