Popocatepetl

On both legs of my journey between Mexico DF and Guatemala City I had the opportunity to snap away at Popocatepetl from various angles.

Of all the shots I took, I think this one best captures the extraordinary effect the volcano has had on the wider landscape around it.

The last time I flew past this monster in the mid-90s it was in full eruption, which was a little worrying, but the sun was setting behind the huge ash cloud and it has to have been one of the most beautiful sights I have ever seen.
