Nog verstopt achter de bomen is nog een enkele mast te vinden met een Vulkan 3570 armatuur in Leidschendam ter hoogte van de Prinsensingel, helaas wel zonder kap. Deze masten hebben onder andere gestaan op de Heuvelweg, langs de route van tramlijn 6 in Leidschendam. Volgens mij is dit de laatste overlevende uit die tijd. Het staat overigens niet in de openbare ruimte.
Auf dem Weg nach Korea: die Wolken spielen mit dem Fuji
On my way to Korea: Clouds are playing with Mt. Fuji
In 1730 a simultaneous eruption of 30 craters affected one third of the island, burying villages and covering much of the most fertile land with a 33 feet thick layer of lava. The eruptions and the devastation were to last for 6 years.
On the image one of these recent craters, montana de las Lapas o del Cuervo. And what a difference it makes when the sun fades away.

The National Park of Timanfaya covers a surface area of 51 square kilometres and includes within it's boundaries an extensive range of these volcanoes. Entrance to this park is only possible with a guide; a strictly arranged tour by bus or dromedary (…). All other possible activities in the park are forbidden, unless you have a special permit (which you have not). Because of the lack of rain, there is very little erosion on the island and the volcanic scenery must look much as it did after the eruptions.
The “Caldera Colorada” on this image is one of the 30 once active vulcanoes and is situated outside the National Park. The n.e.-side of the vulcano has a striking red colour, caused by oxidized hematite, the mineral form of iron oxide.
