A Budha statue covered in Mount Merapi's volcanic ash in Muntilan, Central Java, Indonesia. Although some inhabitants of Merapi are starting to think that the great mountain is no longer friendly to them maybe because the people have made it angry because of their sins, it continues to be a challenge for the authorities over the years to convince most of those who were born and raised at its foot of the imminent danger it poses on their lives and property each time it threatens to erupt.
