Volcano breathing up …….
Remarkable and so highly unusual. What a scene to have been privileged to witness! You are a lucky man, Andrew. Definitely a big “Wow!” from me.
Many thanks indeed for sharing this fantastic view!

What a picture. It took away my breath. I’m counting getting to see this today among my Christmas presents.
Very Impressive Andrew. That must have been quite the sight indeed. You should frame this one……
