Mayon Volcano


 Who may say that this creation is just co-incident? Truly, there is a GREAT CREATOR behind this magnificent land form.There is a GREAT CREATOR who designed all things.

This was I said when I saw this very famous volcano in the world - Mt. Mayon, in my own eyes. Yes, I saw this in actual. It was around 8:45 AM of February 10, 2012 about a couple of minutes before the plane land off  when I saw this majestic land form. Amazing. Wonderful. Indeed.

Mayon Volcano, also known as Mount Mayon, is an active volcano in the province of Albay, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. Renowned as the "perfect cone" because of its almost symmetric conical shape, Mayon forms the northern boundary of Legazpi City, the most populous city in the Bicol Region. The mountain was declared a national park and a protected landscape on July 20, 1938, the first in the country. It was reclassified a Natural Park and renamed Mayon Volcano Natural Park in the year 2000.  (Source: wikipedia.com.)

Mayon Volcano is the main landmark of Albay Province, Philippines, rising 2,462 metres (8,077 ft) from the shores of the Gulf of Albay about 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) away. The volcano is geographically shared by the eight cities and municipalities of Legazpi City, Daraga, Camalig, Guinobatan, Ligao City, Tabaco City, Malilipot, and Santo Domingo (clockwise from Legazpi), which divide the cone like slices of a pie when viewed from above.

There is an old saying that when you see this volcano in your own eyes, this will tell whether your still a virgin or not. If you see this land form with clear and bright, and no clouds on top of it, this only means that you are a still a virgin. Otherwise, when you see this on your first time on actual view and found a clouds on top of it, well, sorry, be it. Anyway, that is only a saying of the elderly there. My first sight on Mayon volcano is the main picture above.
