Mt. Aso Eruption

Back in April 2007, I paid a visit to the Mt. Aso Volcano National Park in Kyushu. Unfortunately, I didn't get to see much as the park was having a blizzard at the time.

The volcano decided to erupt this week and the above photo is a screen capture of a news report video posted at News On Japan about the eruption from FNN News in Japan. The Iwao Temple Okuno-in can be seen in the background.

The reporter was standing near the ropeway station from where I took the photo below.
