Volcano Pic
- Thread starter Thor
- Start date
This pic is bad a$$. I've been up to the mouth of a volcano in Nicaragua. It stinks up there, like someone farted x 1000.
that looks like a painting , till you look at those clouds ... awesome .Volcano pic taken by the farmer Olafur at Thorvaldseyri in
South Iceland yesterday.
... O , you got any family in Iceland ?
Yeah, I do, but all in Reykjavik, none down South near the
Highlands near Eyjafjallajokull (IslandMountainGlacier).
The newest eruption apparently blew under the glacier's icecap,
creating floodwaters to the south and tremendous
steam and ash as opposed to a smooth hot lava flow.
They evacuated a lot of the locals, but looks like
this farm is West of the explosion. The wind is
carrying the plume left to right towards the Southwest.
This is an evening picture so the colors are nice.
Yeah that cloud of volcanic ash is now responsible for grounding planes all across the UK as it drifts across us. It's extremely dangerous to aircraft and highly damaging to my 77 year old mother's bank account - she was due to flight out of London on holiday tomorrow, but the planes are all grounded, the holiday is trashed and the travel insurance won't pay up to reimburse her because it's "an act of God"
I never understood how they could prove that in court. Though they
usually cite 'force majeur, insurrection, natural
disaster', etc. I thought that was what the travel insurance
was for.
But, I get it after my insurance company told me I was on my
own with the recent flooding here in this area. They just want
to collect your money, paying is only when they absolutely
need to. My forefathers hated insurance companies,
now I know why.

Insurance is like a gamble that never really pays out.
Life Insurance = You place a monthly bet saying 'I bet you Im gonna die' Then they smile, say 'I bet that you dont' and take your money.
Car Insurance = You place a monthly bet saying 'I bet you Im gonna crash' Then they smile, say 'I bet that you dont' and take your money.
Health Insurance = You place a monthly bet saying 'I bet you Im gonna get sick' Then they smile, say 'I bet that you dont' and take your money.
I just cancelled my health insurance.
I am going to go with tectonic plate movement on
the Mid Atlantic ridge.
Guess that blows that carbon footprint reduction deal
the Icelanders committed to.

It is now my desktop background. Blown up it does look a little like a painted pic but still cool.
