Sakurajima Coughing

I knew that the volcano has been chuffing for a while recently. But when I went down to Dolphin Port during a break one Saturday, I was surprised to see just how much ash had built up at the south end. It's hard to tell from the photos, but there is a plume of ash coming up from the volcano here.



That's a LOT of ash. The only saving grace is that the wind is blowing away from the city.
