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 kilometers (17 mi) north of Yogyakarta city, and thousands of people live on the flanks of the volcano, with villages as high as 1,700 meters (5,600 ft) above sea level.
Hot gas from a large explosion killed 27 people on 22 November 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.
On 25 October 2010 the Indonesian government raised the alert for Mount Merapi to its highest level and warned villagers in threatened areas to move to safer ground. People living within a 20 km (12.5 mile) zone were told to evacuate. Officials said about 500 volcanic earthquakes had been recorded on the mountain over the weekend of 23–24 October, and that the magma had risen to about 1 kilometer (3,300 ft) below the surface due to the seismic activity. On the afternoon of 25 October 2010 Mount Merapi erupted lava from its southern and southeastern slopes.
The mountain was still erupting on 30 November 2010 however due to lowered eruptive activity on 3 December 2010 the official alert status was reduced to level 3.
Foto Merapi yang sedang aktif ini saya ambil dari dari suatu wilayah di Klaten yang sedang dilanda gempa. Genap sudah, gunung meletus dan bumipun bergoyang.
(Saat itu berita bencana si Lusi (Lumpur Sidoharjo) belum ramai dibicarakan).
This picture has been taken one week ago where this place was considered as safe. Today, after a new eruption, the danger zone has been expanded to 20 kilometers from the crater. This place is not anymore accessible.

walau dalam situasi kabut tebal, saya berusaha mendapatkan detail kontour puncak merapi. mungkin dengan zoom lebih dari 300mm bisa lebih mengekspose detailnya. sayang pas musim hujan begini, tidak muncul lahar merahnya. cuma kepulan asap tebal dari kawahnya. salam hangat dari mbah marijan untuk kalian semua para maniak flickr. "selamat tahun baru", katanya.

Took this picture at very "narrow window" of thick clouds; it was only couple minutes that these clouds let me took this picture, before and after that were just grey thick clouds. Thanks to mas Iwan (www.facebook.com/home.php#!/iwan.kekek) who took me up to Kali Tengah Lor, the highest point a motorcycle can climb in Merapi.
