Mayon Volcano, “the perfect cone” in Albay, Philippines

[bearthedog]

I finally got to see the most active volcano in the Philippines. Mayon is the most active of the active volcanoes in the Philippines, having erupted over 49 times in the past 400 years.

Ruins of the left over from Cagsawa church destroyed in the 1814 eruption. It is said that 1,000 people died while seeking sanctuary in the church.

Ashes at my feet while I stand about 15 miles away from Mayon.

Washed out bridge from flooding.

I have always wanted to visit Mayon and the Chocolate Hills on Bohol. I will eventually make it there on one of my trips to the Philippines.

Sure did. Took them into the jungle too. I was lucky to find full tang Bolos with water buffalo scales and rattan wrapped handles.
