Photographed from a distance of 17 miles from the top of the mountain
On the white summit of eternity
A single Soul of bare infinities,
Guarded he keeps by a fire-screen of peace
His mystic loneliness of nude ecstasy.
But, touched by an immense delight to be,
He looks across unending depths and sees
Musing amid the inconscient silences
The Mighty Mother's dumb felicity.
Half now awake she rises to his glance;
Then, moved to circling by her heart-beats' will,
The rhythmic worlds describe that passion-dance.
Life springs in her and Mind is born; her face
She lifts to Him who is Herself, until
The Spirit leaps into the Spirit's embrace.
- Sri Aurobindo

Yogyakarta, 5 November 2010: After the most violent eruptions yet, tens of thousands of people are on the move away from Mount Merapi on the Indonesian island of Java. Many have fled to the city of Yogyakarta where they find shelter at the city's main football stadium. The death toll stands at over 120 after hot ash and gas cascaded down the mountain overnight. Some 200,000 are now reported to fled their homes seeking shelter. By early morning the stadium has already received some 5,000 people and local authorities, security forces, the local Red Cross, NGOs and hundreds of local volunteers are now scrambling to provide to the basic needs of the displaced, such as food, water and basic medical attention. Indonesia's president has declared the crisis a "national disaster".
Mount Merapi or "Fire Mountain" erupted on 26 October. Local vulcanalogists are concerned further violent eruptions could follow. Huge columns of hot gas and ash continue to rise many kilometers into the sky and the region is being blanketed in a thin layer of fine ash, stinging eyes and throats.

View of Merbabu volcano from the top of the Merapi.
It took approximatively 5 hours, by night, to climb on the top (the last part with volcanic rocks was quite difficult), 4 hours to go down.
The Merapi erupted in 2006 and 2010. The last eruption in 2010 was truly devastating, causing the displacement of more than 320 000 people, killing 350.
Towns along the Code River near Yogyakarta are under constant threat from flooding as rivers ar swollen by seasonal rains, ash and lava.
This is one of my favorite photo of Merapi. I make this photo from Deles village in Sidorejo area and location is 6 KM from the mountain's top.
Iyoyo, a 48 year old farmer, believes the worst is still to come: "I know the characteristics of the mountain" he explains. "Every hundred years we have a major eruption. The worst is still to come." Iyoyo fled his village three days ago as it was engulfed by an avalanche of hot gas and ash. He has now found shelter in Yogyakarta's main football stadium.

SALAK BERDEBU - Mustika (50) sedang mengamati buah salah di kebun halaman depan rumahnya di dusun Srumbung Magelang (4/11). Kebun salak di dusun ini rusak karena tersiram debu vulkanik gunung Merapi. Harga salak jatuh menjadi Rp.3,000/perkg dari harga normal sekitar Rp5.000/kg di pasar-pasar tradisional daerah Muntilan Jawa Tengah. (BIPnewsroom/agussb)
