More Volcano
A couple of cell phone pics I took from work last Thursday that maybe give a better sense of the scale of the ash cloud from Shinmoe Dake:

Awesome.
ReplyDeleteYou know there are still some Americans over here who would say "you people" are foolish to live in a place with volcanoes around that can erupt and destroy your property and chattel so don't come crying to us for a handout when it happens; you made your bed, etc, etc.
Of course, they never seem to realize they might be hailing from "tornado alley" or from along the banks of a river that overflows every couple of years or comfortably perched along a fault line or two.
Oh, well.
Fascinating photos, Rick. We really do live around the Ring of Fire!
ReplyDeleteGlenn,
ReplyDeleteThe funny thing is (and I really don't mean to make this sound like anti-American snark), Japan gets the shit kicked out of it most every year, and Canada's east coast has been creamed by hurricanes, etc., but I've never seen anything approaching the damage I see year in and year out every time it rains, snows, whatever in the U.S. (Tornadoes? Fair enough!) Even the Japanese ask me, "Rick, what the fuck do they make their houses out of over there? Paper?" Surely all those disasters don't hunt down only the trailer parks?
Anyway, in Japan it ain't really a matter of choice--you're never far from the ocean or volcano or fault line...
Susan,
Yeah, but don't fall in. It burns, burns, burns...!
