    Volcanoes are fascinating things and I'd love to see one erupt (from safe distance). I was in Indonesia when Mount Agung was thought to erupt and it didn't quite, though we could see a few smoke plumes from Lombok, looking across to Bali.

    And I visited Herculaneum at the foot of Vesuvius. Numerous instances I found myself just gazing at it in awe.

    It's amazing how despite incredible devastation that they are capable of, we still have people living on and at the foot of the slopes.

    I've walked up to the top of Etna and had a peek down some of those steaming holes. Wasn't quite like that when I was there, but it's quite interesting how you can be walking up through arid black ash on one side of Etna, but then drive around the other side, and it's green and they've got vineyards.

    Been up Mt Teide in Tenerife. Like most people and of course Dundee is built on and around a volcano.

    I reminds me of Manvers Main Coking Plant, when I lived in Mexborough

    This was much preferred to the whiff from the Maggot Farm on a warm summer's eve, when the wind was in the right (wrong) direction.

    That Maggot farm at Clifton. ( top side of Conisborough) Had to be the worst smell ever. ( I work on lots of sewage treatment plants btw) There’s a small sewage plant next to it. God only, knows how folks that lived downwind of it. Could live with it, I’ll never know. :confused:

    A timely reminder not to upset the planet we live on. It is capable of destroying us if we abuse it.

    I don’t know how they’re still allowing people to build in and move into the Naples area. Not only is it at the foot of Vesuvius, but part of the city is literally inside another volcano (Campi Flegrei) that’s so huge you can only see it from the air/space.

    Didn't there used to be one out Bolton / Goldthorpe way? Once went as a kid, the stink was so bad it hurt your eyes.

    Even going up to the caldera of Mount Teide on Tenerife was one of the most awe inspiring times of my life.
    You cannot imagine the landscape that awaits you and is something that will stay with you the rest of your life.

    Would love to visit an active volcano, whenever I see lava flow on tv it’s mesmerising

    Edit: I’d just like to clarify I’m not a pyromaniac

    Nothing to do with Mother Nature Lil. It’s just Trump struggling to come to terms with his defeat.

    There used to be a sh 1tty smell between Monk Bretton and Royston when I was a kid. My Dad always used to drive that way into Barnsley in the old Capri.

    I love those Hawaii scenes in Ken Burns’ National Parks docs. where the lava pours into the sea, literally creating new land. I’m fascinated by the world, always have been. Which what makes me such a tree hugging, patronising, superior, judgemental, annoying little ****..:)
