Doc Henry Posted January 16, 2008 Share #1 Posted January 16, 2008 Advertisement (gone after registration) I want to propose you some pictures of amazing and sensational volcano eruption in "Reunion Island" Indian Ocean,near Madagascar island,many years ago These pictures are taken far from the volcano...because volcanic bombs can fall down on your head and also for very hot and burning lava around you. We can hear sometimes very big explosions,see steam and bomb go out of the crater Taken with my LeicaflexSL and Elmarit 135mm film Kodak + tripod Thanks for looking If you have some sensational pictures please post here . Thanks Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Henry Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share #6 Posted January 17, 2008 Thank you Robert,Gunnar,Stuart and Peter for your kind comments I remember that you must walk on the mountain 5 hours to arrive near the volcano during the night (on 1 am).The sight is wonderful and I never forget the noise of these explosions !

Doc Henry Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share #13 Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks Ben and Marco The cycle of volcano is very curious : you have a quiet period and suddenly explosive period arrived for a few minutes with very sensational fireworks,big explosions (like blast bomb) and whistling of volcanic bomb when it falls down from the sky ! cycle illustrated by these three pictures Thanks for looking Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marquinius Posted January 17, 2008 Share #16 Posted January 17, 2008 "lived' .... I saw some of the footage on televsion. Was about to say "lucky people", then felt stupid: lucky would have been "no outburst" and just live your life. Good for you to just point me/us to such simple facts.
