#4 Pretty awesome photos really

Some friends where stuck in Miami when it erupted and have subsequently decided to take a brief world tour for a bit . They are now in Jamaica . Lucky sausages !

The skies over the UK (well the midlands) are as blue as they have been all year and not a cloud in sight .

#5 Genesis 19:16-25 - 16 So it came about on the third day, when it was morning, that there were thunder and lightning flashes and a thick cloud upon the mountain and a very loud trumpet sound, so that all the people who were in the camp trembled. 17 And Moses brought the people out of the camp to meet God, and they stood at the foot of the mountain. 18 Now Mount Sinai was all in smoke because the Lord descended upon it in fire; and its smoke ascended like the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mountain quaked violently. 19 When the sound of the trumpet grew louder and louder, Moses spoke and God answered him with thunder. 20 The Lord came down on Mount Sinai, to the top of the mountain; and the Lord called Moses to the top of the mountain, and Moses went up. 21 Then the Lord spoke to Moses, Go down, warn the people, so that they do not break through to the Lord to gaze, and many of them perish.

#11 skidmark---That is NOT me! Heh. Talk about playing with Gaia! When I hear of eruptions here, I have my tarps and stuff ready to cover my plane, if the wind shifts toward my airport.

There are old pilots, and there are bold pilots, but very few old and bold pilots.
