Not nearly as eerie though as the absolutely silent skies after 9/11. You've had both at once.. it must be so strange. I'm really glad though that this was not happening during a planned visit from Ireland. ;)Hilaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12787493532006658679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-67083367394642731452010-04-21T01:29:12.339+02:002010-04-21T01:29:12.339+02:00It's always a pleasure to visit your blog and ...It's always a pleasure to visit your blog and read your news, always interesting<br />xoxoTitane333https://www.blogger.com/profile/04233177897101798546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-49272406725355260242010-04-20T18:00:19.347+02:002010-04-20T18:00:19.347+02:00Seema, Brian, Tina, Zuzu, Donna, Claudia, Ji, sall...Seema, Brian, Tina, Zuzu, Donna, Claudia, Ji, sallymandy, LadyCat, Rosezilla, Jeanne, sprinkles, Dan, Sandy, jeannette, Scribe, Richard, Holly, The Bach, BPG, Janine, Rajesh, Mahmood, Stevie and Beverlydru, I am so happy to learn that you enjoyed my take on the volcanic ash that is causing so much trouble around in Europe.<br />The volcanic eruption has apparently intensified in strength again, even though some airports are now reopened.<br />As you point out, no matter the technology, nature is still very much superior and still very much in charge of us, not the other way around. And I am quiet glad for that.<br />Even though apparently completely unrelated to the eruption, our weather is kinda crazy today; it is snowing.:(<br /><br />Thank you all so much for stopping by and leaving such insightful comments. And I am glad to hear that you liked my sunset.;)<br /><br />Xoxo,<br />ZuzanaZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-67335081135093276872010-04-20T17:38:08.578+02:002010-04-20T17:38:08.578+02:00I just KNEW I would find more details and photos a...I just KNEW I would find more details and photos about the volcanic activity on your blog and I delighted in the personal commentary along with the facts.

Thanks for the update. <br /><br />I read a book last year that you might like titled Krakatoa:The Day the World Exploded by Simon Winchester. In it, the author explores the causes as well as the immediate and long range effect of the volcanic explosion. Those effects were felt around the world.steviewrenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14233066158555762167noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-91157499335543356052010-04-20T07:13:01.999+02:002010-04-20T07:13:01.999+02:00WOW! the view out there is once in a life time.But...WOW! the view out there is once in a life time.But hopefully the ashes get blown away soon ( somewhere but not to Borneo!)Thanks for droppin by at my new site.<br />Hav a great week ahead.Mahmud Yussophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00051653019775316287noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-8771110529886271122010-04-20T05:45:25.959+02:002010-04-20T05:45:25.959+02:00Very interesting post.

I remember reading about how the devastating weather affected people in England in the late 1780s but I didn't realise it was from an Icelandic volcano. I learn so much from your blog!<br /><br />Our friends who are over from Sydney are due to fly back later this week but it's doubtful at the moment - all the airports are still closed and there is a massive backlog.
