I don't know how the rest of Europe has dealt with the volcanic ash invading the air space. Hundreds of flights in Britain have been cancelled, thousands of holiday makers have been stranded, children have been unable to attend school for being stuck in a foreign country and adults have been unable to work. Though I don't think I would argue over having a couple more days away.
Many people have complained about something no one has any control over. Is a little bit of volcanic ash really something to complain over? Surely you should be more concerned over your safety and your life than something as materialistic as a holiday, something you will forget in a few weeks, a few months, it won't keep you warm when you elderly. At least your life is something that you can cherish.
Watching the news it got me thinking, there has to be something positive in all this. Even if it was just something small like a baby born on top of the volcano or a terrorist attack gone wrong because of the ash. Then I came across these photographs.

These images are breath taking, I am amazed by them. This is beautifully distubing, how something that has created so much chaos from so far away can create such beautiful imagery.
