This is pretty amazing. Two pictures taken of the same farm, both in daylight, both on the same camera using no filters or anything. Before and after the cloud of ash passed over.

Right? Quite impressive what Mother Nature can do once she's at it.

Greetings from Sachsen/Germany, your cloud is here. *g* We surrender. ;)

In the our news they said it could erupting for 2 years. o.O

LMAO

IT's true, it could. Hard to know with these volcanoes, they don't exactly follow protocol. lol I really do hope though it's over as soon as possible. *crosses fingers*

WOW... you really summed it up quite well at the end there, which is scary. I'Ve been looking out of the window occasionally all day, wondering if I see the dust cloud over my head or just a few fluffy normal ones. But yeah, contrary to popular belief, Iceland DOES lie on a very important spot of our planet. Hnmmm.

Oh yeah. It's never been as obvious before because last time we had anything of this proportion there weren't all these planes flying around.

Funny thing, our airport is functioning fine. Of course they can't fly to those places in Europe that have shut down but other than that we're good. Until the wind changes at least.

Huh, that's curious. But well, I hope it doesn't go on too long over here... not that I have to fly anywhere within the next few weeks, but still.. it's a big problem for a lot of people... should teach us some humility in front of mother nature, that one.

All I can say is... wow. The ash cloud is beautiful as well as deadly and I can't stop looking.

I appreciate your comments and pictures as well. Having an eyewitness account by someone you know makes it hit home all the more.

Wow. I'm speechless. I'm sorry for all those people stranded, your family included, but at the same time I can't help but think that this is so incredibly cool.

I've always felt it was a shame I wasn't alive when Mount St. Helens blew in 1980, and I'll admit in the past I've wished one of the other active volcanoes around here would experience a similar eruption. But I'm starting to think that this isn't something I should be wishing for, even in jest...
