Volcano Erupting - Pictures of La Erupcion de Volcan Calbuco (Life in Chile Series No. 3)

Hey Steemians!  I have some amazing photos of a crazy event that happened in our back yard.  This actually happened on April 22, 2015 and what a crazy day that was.

All of these photos are taken from my patio and all shot with my Nikon D5300, except for the one of my camera, por supuesto (of course).  All content is mine and original.   

Ok, I'll be honest, I posted some of these photos once before, but no one, and I mean no one viewed that post, seriously, I only got 3 votes.  And really, I didn't have a clue what I was doing (as if I do now).  

Ok, as the title says, this is Volcan Calbuco (Cal boo ko).  It is located in Region 10 of Chile near the towns of Puerto Montt and Puerto Varas.  All these shots are taken from Puerto Varas.

It was a crazy day for my family.  None of us had ever seen anything like this.  Maybe, a once in a lifetime event.   The eruption started around 5pm that day.

In the picture above, there's another volcano on the left, Volcan Osorno.  Fortunately, that one has not erupted yet.

The first eruption was at 5 and continued until after sunset.

Then, around 1 a.m., the second eruption.  The pic above and below are of the second eruption.

This event is really simply told with pictures.  You know that one pic, thousand words thing.  But, if you have any questions about this, please comment and I'll do my best to answer.

I am always open to feedback, and would love to know how you feel I could do better and please do not forget to follow me. This is also my second post where I am clicking "Pay me 100% in Steem Power." I'll let you know how it turns out.
