Tiempo volcano

An odd feeling, driving along a toll road to work and watching an active volcano, which is spewing ash to the other side. 2400 m high Mexico City is surrounded by a more or less rectangular mountain range, which includes the Popo(catepetl).

Popo means 'the behind' in German. Popocatepl Square is one of my favorite places in Condesa, wish I could live there! But that is beside the point, when you drive along, watching white smoke rise from this 5000+ m high volcano; which makes you think of the unfathomable forces of nature, so much more powerful than we can imagine, despite our centuries of tampering with her (or it).Live web cam from the volcano
