Beautifully dangerous world . . .

Thanks to Gulf Times for this picture of Mount Merapi’s lava trails.

Indonesia raised the alert status of Mount Merapi volcano to its highest level again after it spewed hot clouds on Wednesday, a day after it lowered the warning.

Merapi in central Java, near the city of Yogyakarta, had been on the highest alert level since mid-May until Tuesday when a volcano monitoring centre said decreasing activity had made it less dangerous.

This is the same Yogyakarta as the place of last month’s Indonesian earthquake. Definitely an interesting place to be right now.
