Mt. Mayon's Postcard Shot

Just when I thought I had enough shots of Mt. Mayon... I saw this. Took a similar shot at twilight and a morning shot -- just a few moments ago, but without that belltower in a wide angled shot. So, here it is. I believe, this is what most postcard shots look like, the colors, the time of day.
Cagsawa ruins, taken shortly after sunrise. I'm thinking this is the best shot so far of the volcano and the ruins. But as for the volcano, I always save the best for last. I think this is one of the better shots I have, but certainly the most spectacular is yet to come.
Again, just for reference, that summit has an altitude of about two and a half kilometers. And the summit is about 9 kilometers from where I'm standing. If you think it is a small volcano(due to the framing with that old belltower), think again.
