桜島噴火
On a brief trip to Kagoshima, we toured around the city ending up at an overlook above the center of downtown.
As we joined a group of Chinese tourists, we were afforded a splendid view of Sakurajima, the volcanic island just across the bay.
The day was clear and bright with only a few clouds. Sakurajima was framed by a blue sky, with only one small cloud just to the right of center.
After a few minutes though the mountain came to life.
Great plumes of white smoke puffed out of the right side of the volcano - see below left.
This elicited great squeals of delight. It lasted for roughly ten minutes - then just as suddenly stopped.
Later in the day, it started up several more times.
