The smoke billowing out of the top of Gunung Merapi - Indonesia's second most active volcano after Anak Krakatau which lies off the coast of Sumatra.
The first glimpses of vegetation give hope that the period when nothing could be grown here will not be as long as predicted
Gunung Merapi (literally Fire Mountain in Indonesian/Javanese), is an active stratovolcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. In late October and early November 2010, eruptions at Indonesia’s Mount Merapi produced ash plumes, lahars, and pyroclastic flows.
Mount Merapi, Gunung Merapi (literally Fire Mountain in Indonesian/Javanese), is an active stratovolcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. It is located approximately 28 kilometres (17 mi) north of the large Yogyakarta city, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the volcano, with villages as high as 1,700 metres (5,600 ft) above sea level.
Some think that the volcano is the kingdom of spirits; while visiting Merapi, people are advised not to do things that could anger the spirits, such as relieving oneself wherever one might wish.
Others believe that the volcano is guarded by spirits, whose names vary from one region to another. On the northern slopes of Merapi, for example, Mbah Petruk is the guardian. In the south, the guardian spirit is Kyai Sapujagad, who was believed to have been sent by Panembahan Senopati to guard Merapi.
Panembahan Senopati was the founder and first king of the Mataram Kingdom, which ruled Yogyakarta from the 16th century.
Other spirits are believed to live in or guard the volcano. These include Nyai Kendit and Dewi Gadung Melati.
The rituals for worshiping Merapi or the spirits, therefore, also vary from one place to another. In Selo, Boyolali, Central Java, for example, villagers hold the Sega Gunung ritual to worship Mbah Petruk.
Others do so through ordinary tumpengan rituals, during which ceremonial dishes of tumpeng (cone-shaped yellow rice), are presented and served.

Mount Merapi, Gunung Merapi in Indonesian language, is a conical volcano located on the border between Central Java and Yogyakarta, Indonesia. It is the most active volcano in Indonesia and has erupted regularly since 1548. Its name means Mountain of Fire. It is very close to the city of Yogyakarta, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the volcano, with villages as high as 1700 m above sea level.
Although smoke can be seen emerging from the mountain top at least 300 days a year, several eruptions have caused fatalities. Hot gas from a large explosion killed 43 people in 1994, mostly in the town of Muntilan, west of the volcano. Another large eruption occurred in 2006, shortly before the Yogyakarta earthquake. In light of the hazards that Merapi poses to populated areas, it has been designated as one of the Decade Volcanoes.
The photo was taken a few weeks after the eruption in 2006.
