Taal Volcano and Taal Lake
Wow, I was totally surprised and a bit emotional to be back and see this volcano once more. In one of the first year's we visited the Philippines, we climbed on a donkey the beautiful green part, the Binintiang Malaki (Big Leg), one of the dormant parts of Taal Volcano to the volcano lake.
Now, after so many years and totally unexpected we were near the volcano once more.
Unexpected? Yes, we wanted to go to another amusement park, called Enchanted kingdom, but when we got there, it was booked by a big compamy for the whole day (ofcourse, nothing was mentioned of this on the internet, these things happen in the Philippines...), and to have some happy children in the car, we decided to go here, Sky Ranch, with the most magnificent views.
Taal is a very powerful volcano , the whole island is a high-risk area.
Despite the warnings, some families remain settled on the island, earning a living by fishing and farming crops in the rich volcanic soil
It is in Calabarzon on the island Luzon, Philippines
Taal has erupted many times, ands in 2020 was a really big eruption ad and this natural disaster caused many problems.
And now it is so strange and a bit scary to see Taal back in this condition.
The Parinacota volcano lies on the border between Chile and Bolivia and has an altitude of 6343m. The last eruption is thought to have been around 230AD. The picture was taken on the Chilean side of the border.

Mount Bromo, East Java, Indonesia.
This volcanic complex forms a condition where a new active caldera of volcano forms inside a larger and more ancient caldera. In this area of the Tengger complex, the geologically new active caldera volcano Mount Bromo (2,329m) is surrounded by a plain of sand or a sand sea, across which is the caldera of an ancient volcano (Tengger) from which four new volcanic cones have emerged, one of which is the pictured Mount Bromo.
Walking alone around the top of the crater of Mount Bromo was one of the most exciting hikes of my life.
Kawah Ijen Volcano is located on the island of East Java, Indonesia.
The Kawah Ijien volcano has a one-kilometer-wide turquoise-colored acid crater lake.
The lake is the site of a labor-intensive sulfur mining operation.
The miners break the cooled material into large pieces and carry it away in baskets. Miners must carry loads, which range from 75 kg to 90 kg, up 300 m to the crater rim, with a gradient of 45 to 60 degrees and then 3 km down the mountain for weighing. Most miners make this journey twice a day. The work is low-paid and the typical daily earnings were equivalent to approximately $13 US...
Active volcano Bromo - one of the most popular volcanoes in Indonesia. The crater Bromo is much easier to look, than other craters of volcanoes. Together with other calmer volcanoes fumed Bromo is a spectacular sight from the lookout on Mount Penandzhakan.
Bromo is an active volcano in Indonesia, part of the Tenger volcanic complex. Located in the east of Java. It has a height of 2392 meters. Bromo Volcano is a part of the Bromo-Tengger-Semeru National Park. The volcano has been in a state of constant activity for the last 20 years, its crater is filled with smoke from active fumaroles.

I may be in the minority but I still love the McLaren MP4-12C. The 12C never had a fighting chance to get the love it deserved as McLaren introduced the 650S only a few months after the 12C's debut. People were so quick to fall in love with the 650S and forget about the 12C that it never had a chance to prove itself. Luckily there are a few around Pittsburgh still including this beautiful Volcano Yellow one that belongs to a friend of mine.

The title will probably bring some challenges from people who are fortunate to live in Oregon and have their own favorites. I find Mt. Hood's classic shape and location puts it slightly above the rest. Which one is your favorite?
Lots of competition along the Cascade Volcanic arc, including Mt. Jefferson, The 3 Sisters, Broken Top, Mt. Bachelor, Newberry, Mt. Mazama (Crater Lake) and many more dormant volcanoes, for a total of 61.
"The mountain was given its present name on October 29, 1792, by Lt. William Broughton, a member of Captain George Vancouver's exploration expedition. Lt. Broughton observed its peak while at Belle Vue Point of what is now called Sauvie Island during his travels up the Columbia River. Lt. Broughton named the mountain after Samuel Hood, 1st Viscount Hood, a British Admiral at the Battle of the Chesapeake.
Lewis and Clark spotted the mountain on October 18, 1805. A few days later at what would become The Dalles, Clark wrote, "The pinnacle of the round topped mountain is at this time topped with snow. We called this the Falls Mountain, or Timm Mountain." Timm was the native name for Celilo Falls. Clark later noted that it was also Vancouver's Mount Hood." Wiki
Hope your week is off to great start!

Volcanoes and Stars could be the call of an advertising campaign of tourism on the Atacama Desert. The volcanoes of the Andes range dominate the landscape of this place. When night comes, the Atacama is one of the best places on the planet to observe the stars. In this photo I show you the union of these two nuances of this fabulous place.

Not really, but sure looks like a miniature volcano....
The Fishing Cone is a geyser in the West Thumb Geyser Basin of Yellowstone National Park.
The name Fishing Cone can be traced back to tales told by mountain men of a lake where you could catch a fish then immediately dunk it into a hot spring and cook it on the hook. Park visitors used to be allowed to fish off the cone as well but this activity is now prohibited. Would have been fun and so convenient.
Thanks for taking a look! Always appreciated.

The last outbreak of the Krafla was in 1984. During the last eruption, the volcano crater filled with glacial water, which makes up this unique blue color.
Position: Stromboli is one of the Aeolian Islands in the Tyrrhenian Sea situated the nord of Sicily, Italy. This is one of the most active volcanoes on Earth and has been erupting almost continuously for the past 2500 years. Stromboli stands 926 m above sea level and over 2,700 m on average above the sea floor. Stromboli is a magical place.
Another one from a family walk. I had to jog a bit to catch up at times. Have a good Sunday. As a family we watched the coronation last night. I think he will be glad that is done with.

I don't normally take pictures, much less post them, of my food. But I have to make an exception for this shot. A department lunch at a Japanese Teppan-style restaurant, where they prepare the food at your table, gave me the chance to catch the chef creating this volcano for us. Very cool.
The volcanic island is located 48 km off the coast. Captain Cook christened her at the cloud of steam that surrounded her. It is 324 ha large and originated from three other volcanoes. In 1953 it was put under protection of nature and is now private property. White Island is the summit of a submarine volcano and is located in New Zealand.
In November 2012 we did a hike which is called "Paso desolacion". This tour passed volcano Osorno. This picture was taken during this walk and shows the snow covered summit. The blue sky, the white snow and the yellow plants made this place very colorful.
