Heaven and Hell

On one side, the last rays of the midnight sun were shining from behind the clouds to light the sky in heavenly blue and gold. On the other, a volcanic cauldron spewed copious fumes to block the sun and erupted with glowing lava to color the world from below in a dark hellish tint. The contrast was incredible, it was an otherworldly landscape of dueling forces that existed for moments until the eruption halted and the sun disappeared.
