After a Stromboli break of nearly 12 years, I realized that nothing had changed so far.

 

Volcano Stromboli activities

Not often the volcano presents an effusive eruption with a 100m lava flow and strong strombolian activity at once.

  

The lava flow down the Sciara del Fuoco was existing even to the 8th of May

At Saturday the 9th the flow was gone, buuuut.. the strombolian activity increased by producing 200-250m high fontains.

Right:Imposant tribble activity and the reminder of the lava flow.

Due to the restrictions staying upper the Quota 290 without guide there was no chance for individual explorations.

   

Funny and strange sounds in the bushes durind the nights. Here is the solution to the enigma.

But I must admit and emphasize that good shots are also possible at this f... place.

...and on the 290th point it is more tranquillo...
