Taal Volcano In The Middle Of The Lake

The above photos captured before darkness after reaching the summit of Mount Maculot last June 13, 2009. These were taken when I tried to view the rocky part of Mount Maculot which I will showcase in another day.

The photos above were captured last June 14, 2009 during the time we raised the Philippines Flag in the rockies of Mount Maculot as part in Independence Day Celebration.

The mountain part that can be seen here is the Taal Volcano lie in the middle of the lake.

Amazing Outlook of Taal Lake From Mount Maculot

While climbing Mount Maculot, this was one of the best or I can say the most stunning view I ever see while trekking the mountain. By just looking into it, I can feel that I can see beyond what I can. And the wonderful color of the lakes made me feel I am seeing a paradise that so near on me.

Post For A While

Here is one of the photo with a human or people concept. I never used to take pictures of people, but there are moments that I myself tend to do it naturally like this moment, we are waiting for the public jeepney that will bring us to the jump-off area of Mount Maculot.

Think Green But Using A Rubber?

The photo above was a capture of sleeper I brought and used at the summit of Mount Maculot. The picture was taken last June 13, 2009 during the night where the group was having fun at social activities.

One thing struck my mind in this sleeper, well there was a written message "think green planet". It seems the message and the sleeper convey contradicting ideas. "think green planet" leads to taking care of environment while the sleeper was made using a rubber material which appears to have issues againts the safety of environment.
