A rose is seen covered with ash from the Calbuco volcano in the Patagonian Argentine area of San Martin de Los Andes April 23, 2015. Volcano Calbuco in southern Chile that erupted unexpectedly on Wednesday was still pouring ash into the sky on Thursday, forcing the cancellation of flights from nearby towns in both Chile and neighboring Argentina.The volcano, which last had a major eruption in 1961, has blown a spectacular plume of ash and smoke nearly 20 kilometers into the sky near Puerto Varas, some 1, 000 kilometers (625 miles) south of Santiago.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, a delicate rose is seen covered in a thick layer of ash from the Calbuco volcano in the Patagonian Argentine region of San Martin de Los Andes. Taken on April 23,2015, this image serves as a powerful reminder of nature's unpredictable beauty and destructive force. The Calbuco volcano, located in southern Chile, erupted unexpectedly and continued to spew ash into the sky even on the day this photograph was captured. The eruption led to flight cancellations in nearby towns both in Chile and neighboring Argentina due to safety concerns caused by the volcanic ash. This particular eruption marked a significant event for Calbuco since its last major eruption occurred back in 1961. The plume of smoke and ash reached an astonishing height of nearly 20 kilometers near Puerto Varas, which is approximately 1,000 kilometers south of Santiago. The juxtaposition between the fragile rose petals and the harshness of volcanic ash creates a striking visual contrast. It symbolizes how even something as delicate as a flower can be affected by natural disasters beyond human control. Photographer Patricio Rodriguez skillfully captures this moment with his lens, showcasing not only his technical expertise but also his ability to convey emotion through imagery. This thought-provoking photograph stands as a testament to nature's power and resilience while reminding us that our world is full of unexpected wonders and challenges alike.
