Post #700: Guess what we saw in Sicily
Among other things, Etna erupting! How cool is that? I took this picture from our hotel balcony. Look at the height achieved by that molten lava, then compare it to the size of the lights of the town below. They said on the local news that the lava was spewed as much as 700m (2,300ft) into the air. Wow! The airport in Catania was closed during part of the night and the next morning due to too much ash in the atmosphere.

Seeing a live volcano is on my list of cool stuff I want to see in real life - a tornado, a rattlesnake, a shark, and a healthy US economy again.
Holy fuck, that is one fantastic photo.
