I’ve come upon my folder of pictures from Italy and on initial count had somewhere north of 4k pictures from the trip. My goal is to reduce this number, but there are probably a couple dozen good ones in there for posting. I’ll probably do a few from each country, because I think I went on this trip right before I started putting pictures up here, so none of these have been posted before. If I get really inspired, I’ll post the whole batch along with a write-up of the trip before I forget any more details than I already have.
This one is of Mt. Etna in Sicily just after erupting in 2011. Janet got to see it from the air as she was flying in and I think has a camera phone picture of the smoke cloud. The rest of us (her included) got the ground view from a couple of tour vans after the work was complete at WPC 21. It’s an active volcano, so there are limits on how close we could get, but it was fun walking around on the lava field as shown in the foreground of this picture.
