Guatemala’s Volcán de Fuego: An Erupting Volcano
A river of scorching lava blazed and flowed from the crater’s rim as fire shot out of its belly. Last night Volcán de Fuego or volcano of fire, one of the most active volcanoes in Guatemala and one of the three volcanoes overlooking Antigua, erupted furiously.
Privileged to witness the spectacle from my rooftop terrace I watched and photographed it until after midnight. Here are just a couple of the shots I took.

My friend and amazing photographer Lucy who I visited in Antigua took these amazing shots of the volcano erupting. Wow! I am breathless. Is this a sign I need to go back? I think so! Bravo Lucy!

Such a shame but I think it was only visible the night it started erupting due to cloud cover. At least you were here for Semana Santa!
