My Boots n Me: Fuego Volcano Erupts in Guatemala, August 8, 2007

Thursday, August 9, 2007

Being at any place in time where Mother Nature decides to show us what's really up her sleeve is a feeling very hard to express.

I'm afraid I ran out of words for this one, so I will let my photos do that for me.

Enjoy.

Karen Cooper said...: Thanks Loz --- the volcano was erupting most of the day and was eventually obscured by cloud cover about 10 PM -- so several hours altogether.; August 12, 2007 at 10:51 AM
