Mother Nature ...

... is angry this week, my friends. But always magnificent.  Case in point, the eruption of the Icelandic volcano Grímsvötn shot from a helicopter 5 miles out. WOW.

Wow, that's impressive.

It would be awesome (and pretty scary!) to see it up close, but I don't suppose I'll be able to do that, lol.

Iceland and their volvanoes are becoming an annual thing. Last year, I was in Italy and was literally on the last plane to leave Rome airport before they shut it.

That footage is pretty magnificent, though!! Scary, but cool :)

Wow! You got really lucky! Ah, to go back to Rome. I will do it one of these days!

Damn nature, you scary!

Terrifying but gorgeous. I watched a video yesterday of a tornado in Oaklahoma, and it gave me a similiar feeling. It's impressive, majestic even, but there is no way in hell you'd get me near one of those :P

P.s. Did you ever see this video? So beautiful.

Wow!! Gorgeous video! Thanks for sharing!

Yeah, I know what you mean about tornadoes! VERY scary things!
