A few months ago, scientists thought that Mount Merapi was going to blow big time, so I flew down to central java to get some shots of the possible eruption. It never came, but we sure got a nice sunrise...
Have a great weekend!!
Have a great weekend!!
Spectacular. Wonderful light. Beautiful SWF :-)
ReplyDeleteWow! I guess that shot was worth the flight by itself.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen a volcano erupt. Once I lived near an on-and-off active one. If it would have been erupting, I would have seen the glow from my window. It did not. It did right after I left. But never smoke while I was there. This one is fantastic.
Agreed a fabulous sunset
ReplyDeleteLove the light:)
ReplyDeleteAmazing shot.
Do you give lessons in taking pictures?
Petunia

ReplyDeleteScotty: Timing is everything with volcanoes and you captured this well. I was near one in Costa Rica when it did this and it smelled like sulfur.
ReplyDeleteI guess all I can say is AWESOME!!!

I guess it's a good thing it didn't erupt since it would have spewed more pollution into the skies, but I'm sure it was a disappointment. Great sky photo. though!

Oh my, this photo is absolutely stunning. I just showed it to my husband. His ship sailed through your part of the world in 1974 on its way from Hong Kong to Australia. He said it is one of the most beautiful places he's ever seen.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing photo and from a place we don't often see with our own eyes. And then there's the volcano aspect. . .very, very nice work. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteStunning, but didn't anyone tell you that your supposed to go AWAY from the impending volcano?? LOL wonderful image
