Fireball Light

This is from the archives, but I just came across it today and thought you guys may be interested.

Taken about a year and half ago on my last trip to Chile, it's from the northern Lauca region with twin volcanoes Parinacota and Pomerape. The frame is from late in a timelapse just before the lens fogged over. I think the temp was around -15C and the handwarmers on the lens had given up the ghost.

In all the time I've been timelapsing (3 years) this is the only shot I have where a fireball has lit up the sky. The head is behind the hills, but it's tail is just visible and you can see the head light reflected on the slopes of the volcano to the left (Pomerape).
