Houses only 7km from Merapi, are always in the danger zone for Pyroclastic flows. More settlements can be seen on the foot of the mountain.
A very clear night, on the way up to the crater.
Campers on the last level before the crater.
Sunrise from the peak.
The new lava dome and red glow on the dome wall from a isolated part of active lava, that is located on the western side of the crater/dome.
I had to hold my camera over the edge to be able to capture the active lava.
Eruption crater located on the middle of the dome.
The western part of the crater, showing clearly the boundary of the elevated dome. The dome looks like it`s around 30m. height at the moment.
Close up on the western side of the dome.
Close up on the southern part of the edge of the dome.
Merapi`s shadow.
From what I could see, this is the new peak of Merapi, altough I`m not 100% sure.
