A funny thing happened on the way to Timor

Me, standing on the deck of USNS Mercy at anchor off of Dili, East Timor, (GPS S 8 32.0963 E 125 35.2666) on 11 July 2008.


One last volcano photo, taken from the bridge of USNS Mercy, showing the volcano and its trail of steam and ash in the distance, and the fading sunset off to the right.


This is the sunset that we saw just after we passed the volcano. It looked spectacular, possibly due to the ash in the sky.


Here is a series of three photos showing one of the steam and ash eruptions we saw as we passed the volcano Batu Tara on 10 July 2008.





Here's LT Seaman with the erupting Batu Tara volcano in the background, taken from USNS Mercy just north of Indonesia (GPS S 7 39.9660 E 123 32.7118) on 10 July 2008.
