Sunset with volcanic dust

I love sunrises and sunsets and crepuscular time as well. I was hoping that people would post photographs of tonight’s sunset as seen from Northern Europe, and I wasn’t disappointed. Thank you Bram.

There’s more. Just take a look at the flickr group here:

The Other Side of the Lava

I found this photograph hauntingly beautiful. Maybe it’s the jet lag. But I loved it. Thank you Steingrimur.

How the ash came about

Wondering why there’s flight disruption in the UK and Scandinavia? Here’s why.

What intrigues me is that the photographs were uploaded nearly a week ago. What happened in between? Do volcanic eruptions of this sort sometimes decide “No, we won’t spew forth any ash”?

I felt certain that flickr would have photographs of the event. The world of Now is not just about Twitter. It’s about the web. About all of us.

Thank you Steingrimur.
