Amazing shot!
We have been twice at El Arenal and never saw the volcano so impressive. We think the noise of that explosion had to be great!. Congratulations for such a beautiful picture.

When was this photo taken? The side of Arenal blew out the other day. Was this taken after that.......or is it the.....stock photo we see in travel books?
