This photo was taken by my cousin Enny in Boyolali who runs one of our schools there when the Merapi volcano erupted on October 26th.
The tall towering smoke is the volcano's hot ash spurring into the sky. The school and neighborhood was evacuated soon after. The area was covered in ash 24 hours later.
At 2,911 meters, the summit of Merapi Volcano and its vigorous steam plume rises above a bank of stratus clouds on its southern flank.

Mount Merapi, Gunung Merapi (literally Fire Mountain in Indonesian/Javanese), is an active stratovolcano located in Central Java, 28 kilometers (17 mi) north of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. I was there on November 10, 2010. By this time 153 people had been reported to have been killed and 320,000 were displaced. The area was restricted and this was as close as I was allowed to go. Prior, on 25 October, the Indonesian government raised the alert for Mount Merapi to its highest level (4) and warned villagers in threatened areas to move to safer ground. People living within a 10 kilometers (6.2 mi) zone were told to evacuate. The evacuation orders affected at least 19,000 people; however, the number that complied at the time remained unclear to authorities. Officials said about 500 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded on the mountain over the weekend of October 23-24, and that the magma had risen to about 1 kilometer (3,300 ft) below the surface due to the seismic activity. Later the eruptive activities again increased requiring a continuation of the Level 4 alert and continued provision of exclusion zones around the volcano. By November 8, the death toll had increased to 275. The toll had risen to 324 by November 24. The National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) explained that the death toll had risen after a number of victims succumbed to severe burns and more bodies were found on the volcano’s slopes.
Indonesian army and police personnel are assisting in the evacuation efforts.

Looking at volcano Mt.Merapi from King Boko Site
To keep the volcano quiet and to appease the spirits of the mountain, the Javanese regularly bring offerings on the anniversary of the sultan of Yogyakarta's coronation. For Yogyakarta Sultanate, Merapi holds significant cosmological symbolism, because it is forming a sacred north-south axis line between Merapi peak and Southern Ocean (Indian Ocean). The sacred axis is signified by Merapi peak in the north, the Tugu monument near Yogyakarta main train station, the axis runs along Malioboro street to Northern Alun-alun (square) across Keraton Yogyakarta (sultan palace), Southern Alun-alun, all the way to Bantul and finally reach Samas and Parangkusumo beach on the estuary of Opak river and Southern Ocean. This sacred axis connected the hyangs or spirits of mountain revered since ancient times—often identified as "Mbah Petruk" by Javanese people—The Sultan of Yogyakarta as the leader of the Javanese kingdom, and Nyi Roro Kidul as the queen of the Southern Ocean, the female ocean deity revered by Javanese people and also mythical consort of Javanese kings
