Hi Guys,
This evening the Etna Volcano in Sicily shows all its power

That's remarkable. Is there any danger to the towns on the coast? When I was there in 2012 the mountain was shrouded in smoke and steam, but excursions up to the crater were available.

Great image, nature reminding us to keep paying attention.

Great Shot

Fortunately, the erupting crater is very high (about 3200 m).
The paroxysmal activity usually lasts a few hours and with this intensity there is no danger for all the cities around the volcano.

The city you see below is Catania.

I remember visiting the Mulberry farm at Catania.  Wonderful produce to be sampled
