Flooding and exploding mountains!

I am going through the masses of pictures I have scattered all hap hazard through my hard drive and there is plenty of golden pictures that I need to share. Before leaving Tanzania a former colleague gave me these awesome shots of Ol Doinyo Lengai smoking away.

In Western countries aviation comes to a stand still when ash clouds are involved....I guess in Africa ash clouds are the least of your worries.

The daily wet season commute...yes that is how high the water came up on the front of my car. On one such occasion I was driving/floating to work when a large truck sped past going in the opposite direction and I swear the bow wave swept over the roof of the little corolla. But without photographic or video proof its like the classic fishing yarn of the on that got away...I have a few of them but I will keep them for another time

I have posted pictures flooded Dar es Salaam streets and some who follow news closely may have heard of large scale (larger than normal) flooding in Dar es Salaam in late 2011. I doubt the problem will get fixed, can't let a little flooding get in the way of a new presidential jet.
