This one I took using the camera's (Nikon D70 Nikor 70-300 mm lens) highest resolution. I later cropped the gull from the picture.

This the Volcan de Izalco. I was born at the foothills of this beautiful volcano. At night, we could see the most splendid fireworks display. Because of its altitude and its proximity to the sea it became known to sailors as El Faro del Pacíico, The Lighthouse of the Pacific.

This volcano is characterized by its permanent activity, from its birth in 1770, almost 200 years after Christopher Columbus reached the new world, to the end of its eruptive period in 1966. It is currently dormant

Hi,

Today I feel a little philosophical.

Socrates was right, there is a lot that we do not know. But what about the things that we DO know? Take war for instance. War is a business orchestrated by a few greedy, arrogant, psychopaths; using the blood of the most vulnerable, the poor, the ignorant (why are education and health at the bottom of our legislative priorities? More about my felling on that subject in the near future), and perpetuated by false and misleading hopes and side shows.

It is not the stupidity but the ignorance of the masses that empowers those who have learned something from history: War = BIG Profits for the ones in power, for the ones that do not have to fight it.

I like this!!

Today I could soar. I finally got plenty of sleep. It took me a week to catch up but here I am. Soon, I will be posting my feelings in a photo essay in
