"Lagoon of Fire" is a caldera lagoon on the island of São Miguel in the Açores, Portugal. The body of water sits in the remnants of a stratovolcano and is often draped in low lying clouds and fog, hence the name. This results in the lush slopes where a young French pilot once crashed his single-prop engine. I absolutely love this location. (Taken with a Minolta Maxxum 4000si film SLR.)
