It looks like a flower vomiting. :boggle:

I'd rather be atop the foothills than beneath them.

This volcano is astoundingly beautiful and looks like nothing I have ever seen. Better trite than sickening! :lol:

OMG! There's no way those ancient artists could have known what an aerial view of a spewing volcano would look like in order to come up with the graphic representation of wind as you have suggested. This clearly indicates that aliens shared this view with the artists of the time. Incontrovertable proof that aliens founded and continually influence our civilization if I ever saw it! :o

Pretty impressive, seeing what the shockwave has done to the bank of clouds/fog/whatever that was advancing up the mountain. All pushed away in a nice even arc. Probably would've sucked to be standing there just then. Whoosh!

I think it's quite beautiful too. Although, it also resembles one of those puff ball mushrooms...you know, the ones that send out tons of smoky stuff when you squash them.

I agree, but I also know that we're all ultimately descended from Eve and Adam, so it doesn't matter how he says it in the long run.

Hey, I resemble that remark. We have things erupting all the time. We don't have any volcanos, however.
