IT´s always like that...people don´t believe in danger until something bad happens....or do they all only love the thrill, is this the new way today....we all need more thrill because normal life is so boring??

Beautiful intro picture!!! I am not sure if I would dare climb up such an active vulcano, LOL. But it must be beautiful to see when you are on top!
