If one looks at the stratovolcanoes in Alaska, which is nearby, that ring seems to continue. Just like the Indonesian ring of fire.<br />Hugs,<br />MarietteMariette VandenMunckhof-Vedderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877699174880945452noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-52672722968458074412021-04-30T10:31:48.322-04:002021-04-30T10:31:48.322-04:00That must have been a thrill!

One thing I've noticed about your Indonesian photos is the natural branches used everywhere for fencing and protection. I hope it is strong; it certainly is better than the chain-link they would have used in the U.S. When I first came to Taiwan, a lot of scaffolding and informal structures used bamboo poles. Now I see them less often, but they are still around.<br />--JimParnassushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08958901307538141468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1974466215163623524.post-49437834445907548572021-04-29T09:20:45.176-04:002021-04-29T09:20:45.176-04:00The crater is an amazing sight Mariette, a bit sca...The crater is an amazing sight Mariette, a bit scary too, bubbling away all the time!
