When we got to Pigeon Island yesterday there were hundreds of birds resting on the sand. As we walked towards them they flew off across the water. As they did, the volcano Tavurvur, decided to erupt, and formed an interesting backdrop to the photos.
Perhaps for elevenses, one would have pigeon pie and a small G+T. Would that be aboard the boat, (kayak) or does one rest on the grass and wait for service; from HWDB ? I would go for the latter.
Wow - I'm guessing not too many other daily photo bloggers can boast an erupting volcano on their blog! Actually I'm really glad I don't live near an active volcano! Hope it didn't cause too much damage or danger.

Oh my goodness, an eruption right before your very eyes. Is this common?
ReplyDeleteOh wow! That is pretty amazing. I second Annie's question.
ReplyDeleteEven your volcanos are pretty, Jules. That's just unfair.
ReplyDeleteHee hee.
Superb it is an eruption of pigeons
ReplyDeleteWell timed then:)
ReplyDeletegreat view
ReplyDeleteThe story and photo are beautiful until I got to the eruption part. I can only hope nobody was hurt.

Également.... Je pense que Bergson est correct
Oh, yes, just like that, you contrived to get one of those 3 beasts to explode.
ReplyDeleteNow Jules! This is boasting. Not only showing off THREE volcanoes right on your doorstep, but also claiming that they act to your command.
No more Autumnal shots for you my girl.
Frankly, it leaves me very queezy
Nice view... seems you had a good time.

Bergson - what a clever line - wish I had used that one!!!
ReplyDeleteThe volcano erupts all the time so we don't even notice it any more unless it gets really big!!! it just blasts away and we tend to ignore it!!!!
Chuckeroon - thanks - I really am autumn leaved out!!!! of course it is all jealousy!!!!
How interesting to become blase about a volcano eruption.
ReplyDeleteQuite a spectacular picture and composition.
