ETNA

Etna is Europe's most active volcano: her last major eruption was November 2013, but she's almost continually doing something! Yesterday she had decided to Fire Up.  Literally.  So the smoke could be seen many kilometres from Catania.  On the previous day when we went up the mountain to walk down into extinct Crateri Silvestri the wind was blowing but the sun shining.
