Sitting on our balcony on the Azamara cruise ship I snapped a picture as we passed by the famous Etna volcano on the eastern side of Sicily.
I heard a swishing sound and realized as I was taking the picture Stromboli spurted an eruption!
Love my timing...Stromboli is one of the most active volcanoes on the earth.
Awesome! Enjoy your vacation, that looks like a wonderful place...I have a goal to visit that part of the world in the near future! I will have to include the volcano in my plans!
Wow! What an amazing picture. This is beautiful! Hope you're enjoying a wonderful time! Cheers!
Hi Jeani,
You will need to include this on your trip..this part of the world is awesome!
Hi Olga,
Actually these is from our trip in August and we did have a wonderful time..so many amazing pictures.
Dorie, What a great photo - and here I thought Stromboli was just something to eat! Learn something new everyday here in the Rain!
Hi Mary,
Stromboli is something good to eat..I love it. We have been by the volcano several times at night..which is also a treat!
Wow Dorie...
How cool to be there at just the right time. An amazing photo!
Hi Richard,
It was an amazing feeling to be snapping a picture as it started to erupt!
VEry nice capture and to catch the spurt of a small eruption must have been neet to see.
It was very cool! It was amazing because you heard the swishing sound as it started to erupt watching the poof at exactly the same time was exciting!
Dorie, that is so neat -- what great timing! It is so pretty -- and to be able to watch it erupt -- what an experience, I am sure!
Marney,
It was an enlightening experience..one I will not forget. Thanks for stopping by to comment.
OMG! How cool is that!? I'm featuring this in the Things to Do/Places to Visit group =D
Dorie - There is something totally mesmerizing about active volcanoes. I have traveled to Hawaii a couple times and watched Kilauea do her thing. It's quite amazing.
Lisa,
Isn't this wonderful! Exciting to see the eruptions and they happen frequently!
Myrl,
Kilauea is quite active and a wonder to watch! I never thought about it but volcanoes are mesmerizing!
Dorie,
Good timing and nice picture. You can see the steam coming out the top. :)
