Mystery Volcano Photo #1

I’m going to start a little feature on these slow volcano days … Introducing the “Mystery Volcano Photo”! I’ll post a picture of a volcano and feel free to take a whack at identifying the volcano. I’ll follow up with information on the volcano … right now you can play for community honor, but who knows, maybe I’ll get some prizes to give away.

So, without further ado, Mystery Volcano #1 (9/8/2009). Make your guess(es) in the comments. Good luck!

    Good guess, but maybe the island is a little green for Alaska?

    Cleveland was my first impulse, but you’re absolutely right, there’s way too much vegetation for an Alaskan volcano. It could be one of the Indonesian volcanoes, but my guess is that it’s Mayon in the Philippines.

    It looks like Stromboli to me, off the west coast of Italy.

    I spoke to fast. The height of the vegetation and the color of the water should have been my main clues. I think I now have it but to be fair I will not submit a second guess just yet.

    I was going to say Mayon, but the colour of the water infront make me wonder.

    Feel free to second guess if you think you’re wrong the first time! I’ll see how the guesses go and if need be starting leaving some hints. I will point out that the first one is, well, a bit of a doozy.

    That looks a lot like Concepcion to me, seen from the lake.

    Wow, volcanista, thats amazing. You nailed it. It is indeed Concepcion in Nicaragua. And I thought it was a ringer … Just shows that my readers know their volcanoes. I’ll post a little blurb about Concepcion tomorrow to follow this up. Look for more mystery photos in the future!

    Heh, I’ve been there, and my pictures all look like that, though from the other side. It’s a very pretty volcano, though next to impossible to climb to the top.

    Haven’t a clue, sorry! My first thought looking at it would be one of the more obscure volcanoes of the Kurile Islands, but there’s way too much vegetation…

    I just know I’ve seen that picture before. My guess is Redoubt.

    Woot!

    Concepcion was my second guess

    1 hour away from Yellowstone Super Volcano!!!

    Im forcing the kids to watch with me to see how much science my 4th grader has picked up in the last year. Had to agree to let them watch Sponge Bob till then. We will see which has better science.

    It looks familiar due to the San Cristóbal volcano news in Nicaragua, too. The two volcanoes are very similar in shape. And the vegetation is not the only aspect you have to watch. See the clouds. They are cumulus (not present commonly in near polar latitudes) and the there is a bright lit sky, so you can approximate it to middle or low lattitudes. Congratulations to volcanista!

    I´ve been reading your blog for awhile and also it under no circumstances occurred to me to comment. That is absolutely ironic, for the reason that I´ve spent quite a lot of time over the history few months studying what it takes to make people comment on my own website. Right after reading a couple of your posts I guess it´s controversial topics that stir people´s emotions to the point where they can´t just ´let it go.´

    Religiously, we have been for several generations increasingly persuaded to accept error as doctrinal fact in regards to some social issues. Whether by innocence or contrivance (and both have applied), the net result is that we have felt obliged to tolerate error in policy and in behavior. One specific manner in which this has occurred is in allowing others, including our own children perhaps, to shame us into accepting unGodliness by virtue of our own sin and failure. The precedent-setting principle, succinctly stated, is that If I have committed an error (and sin), then that error (and sin) is thereby excused from reproach and sanctified to all who may engage it.Thus, we have tolerated behaviors to the point of condoning them. One example being that we ceased to tolerate the privacy of other peoples bedrooms by not peering through their bedroom windows, but instead invited them to make their practices public. And protected by law. UnGODLY law.Another example, more pertinent perhaps to this story, is the acceptance of entitlement ideology.the belief that everyone shouldshare the wealth whether they contribute or not, and whether they do not contribute purely by choice. To paraphrase something I believe God said in the Old Testament, If a man wont work, dont feed him. And one of the 6 (or 7) things God has stated that He hates (yes, fact) is a lazy man.Finally, as believers in Judeo-Christian principles and the God who delivered them, if we leave charity to the government, are we not simply thinking to assuage our own conscience? And in this, do we not deprive ourselves of sincerely demonstrating (to our God) our compassion for those in true need around us? As Mr. Crockett aptly stated, when we see a need and are persuaded that help is appropriate, we should give of our Selves and from our own pocket.We need to not only learn better what the Constitution says, but to understand clearly what the thoughts and principles of the founding fathers were when they composed it.

    Thank you so much, this was a good read. I was actually born in Madrid ( not telling what year though!) but was moved around various parts of europe and lastly settled in England when I was a teenager. I dont remember an awful lot of the few years I was in spain, but the smell of spanish food always seems to ring a bell in me or something. Funny, how I dont remember anything except the smells,isnt it! I actually found a website dedicated to spanish recipes, which gave me great delight and thought I ought to share with your readers. Anyway, thank you again. Ill get my son to add your website to my rss app
