Once a moviestar, now a devastating outburst of lava: mount Shinmoedake in the Kirishima volcano region, Japan.

The Shinmoedake volcano played a role in the 1967 James Bond movie ‘You Only Live Twice‘ as a rocket base.

It erupted heavily on 28 January this year, with a severe outburst on February 1st, which shattered the windows of the houses up to 5 miles away.

This is another land art piece of James Turrell. It is not well known and a lot smaller than his Roden Crater project.

It is called ‘Hemels Gewelf‘ (Celestial Vault) and was constructed in 1996.

It lies in the sand dunes of The Hague and is open to the public.

Kudos to who found it without the hint, because I thought this would be a very difficult one.

Roden Crater is a volcanic cone turned into a land art project by James Turrell.

James Turrell converted the crater into a ‘naked eye observatory’ which took him from 1979 till now.

The New York Times ran an article about him and his project in 2007 and here is a photostream on Flickr of this project.
