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, 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.
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
Mayon is a classic stratovolcano (composite) type of volcano with a small central summit crater. The cone is considered the world's most perfectly formed volcano for its symmetry, which was formed through layers of pyroclastic surges and lava flows from past eruptions and erosion. The upper slopes of the basaltic-andesitic volcano are steep averaging 35–40 degrees.
Like other volcanoes located around the Pacific Ocean, Mayon is a part of the Pacific Ring of Fire. It is located on the eastern side of Luzon, near the Philippine Trench which is the convergent boundary where the Philippine Sea Plate is driven under the Philippine Mobile Belt. When a continental plate or belt of continental fragments meets an oceanic plate, the lighter continental material overrides the oceanic plate, forcing it down into the Earth's mantle and melting it. Magma may be forced through weaknesses in the continental crust caused by the collision of the tectonic plates. One such exit point is Mayon.
Mayon is the most active volcano in the Philippines having erupted over 49 times in the past 400 years. The first record of a major eruption was witnessed in February 1616 by Dutch explorer Joris van Spilbergen who recorded it on his log in his circumnavigation trip around the world. The first eruption of which there is an extended account was the six-day event of July 20, 1766.
By clinging on to a metal rail on the edge of the viewpoint, I managed to exclude all of the hundreds of other people also taking shots of this scene. It was a dramatic sight!

When one looks at Mount Rainier on a clear day it is at the very least majestic, one might say imposing, or perhaps just a giant symbol reminding us that Mother Nature is always near. On transition days, when 'stuff' is about to hit the oscillator, it takes on a different persona and it's seemingly different every time. It could form a wonderful lenticular cloud, or ufo cloud, always a harbinger of incoming weather, it could just draw a curtain and disappear, on Friday it kicked up a howling bone chilling wind that frightened the clouds around it so badly they flew in circles.
I took this hiding alee of my rocking pickup (running with the heat on) all thoughts of taking on a second hike that day long gone, but could not look away, the scene changed by the second. Twenty minutes of this and it was time to hop into Gertrude and get into Lightroom.
Le Vulcain, the Vulcan, the French name for the Red Admiral calls to mind the god of fire, particularly the fire created by volcanoes, with orangey scarlet flames against the inky black igneous rocks! A perfect description of the Red Admiral’s 'ring of fire' upper wing patterns!!
I live with a musician, which means there are guitar picks everywhere. Most of them are grey---this tortie one is my personal favorite.
Mayon Volcano is the main landmark of Albay Province, Philippines. Rising over 8,000 feet above Albay Gulf, the perfectly symmetrical cone of the stratovolcano dominates the landscapes of the cities of Legazpi, Daraga, Camalig, Guinobatan, Ligao, Tabaco, Malilipot, and Santo Domingo.
Mayon is also a very active volcano; it erupted most recently in 2013 killing five and injuring seven.
Local legend says that Mayon is a beautiful woman and that if she shows her face to you, she is pleased. If not, beware!
Annular Solar Eclipse 2023-10-14 imaged in hydrogen alpha, near Bluff, UT at one of the San Juan River Rincon's (abandoned oxbow).
It's been a difficult road in so many ways preparing for this eclipse but experiencing this moment without a cloud in the sky and no equipment malfunctions made this a lifetime memory. More images to follow as time permits.
Equipment:
Coronado Solarmax III 70mm solar telescope.
ZWO ASI 174mm mono camera.
Orion Atlas Pro EQ mount.

“There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. That will be the beginning.” - Louis L'Amour
Winters are longer in the mountains and Rainier is no exception. Sprawled before me the Nisqually Glacier already covered with protective rocks begins it's hibernation beneath a fresh layer of snow and there has been more since.
Walking here you can hear water everywhere around you, but the moment your head clears that ridge gouged by the glacier in years past the roar of wind rushing down the valley is like the mountain is warning you that you're close enough. You're going to need more than trekking poles if you want to go further and I didn't even bring those.... :-)
I was the only one on this trail, indeed, I only took it so I could remove my thermal pants, then I just kept wandering wondering where it went. I sat here for a half hour listening to the occasion rock slide and watching the clouds pondering life (and how I got this bad out of shape...) :-)
Blow it up and look around, especially if you like rocks and waterfalls. :)
my first ever video in comments, kinda cool. Turn it up loud, because it was....
Lassen Peak at Manzanita Lake.
Also known as Mount Lassen, this sleeping volcano is the southern end of the Cascade Range of mountains. It is less than 80 miles north of the Camp Fire in Paradise, and the same tinder dry conditions exist here.
The Cascades are part of the Pacific Ocean's Ring of Fire, the ring of volcanoes and associated mountains around the Pacific Ocean. All of the eruptions in the contiguous United States over the last 200 years have been from Cascade volcanoes, including eruptions at Lassen Peak from 1914 to 1921.
The Lassen Volcanic Park is remarkable, and signs of ongoing geothermal activity can be found in many places. More to come.
Hope you are enjoying the weekend. The smoke has cleared, although the air quality is still unhealthy here in San Francisco.
Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments, awards and faves -- I appreciate them all.

We drove 1600 miles (2500 km) round trip to Siever, Utah, to witness the ring of fire, a solar eclipse. On 2017-08-21 I observed the totality of a full solar eclipse, where you can see the corona around the sun. This time on 2023-10-14 the moon was further away from Earth, thus appeared to be smaller, which creates the ring of fire. We selected a spot that was exactly in the center path of the solar eclipse. The partial eclipse started at 9:08 MDT, the annular (ring of fire) was at 10:28 MDT, and ended at 11:56 MDT.
I set the interval timer to 10 sec. Because of the very long lens I had to move the camera frequently to keep the sun in the frame. This image is a composite if 15 images, each exactly 5 minutes apart, where the sun and moon move from the lower left to the upper right. The leftmost sickle is enlarged on the upper left. You can see two sunspots. Notice also the wiggles around the edges, caused by atmospheric refraction. During the day, the sun is warming up the atmosphere, which causes variation in the optical density of different layer's of earth atmosphere. This deviates light from a straight line as it passes through the atmosphere, which results in the wiggles.
Looking at pictures of a solar eclipse is interesting, but experiencing it in person is a whole different level. It is mystical and emotional experience, hard to describe. All I can say is that I recommend to put this on your bucket list if you have not experienced one in person. Totally worth a trip!
I created a composite image from 15 JPG exposures, processed a soft HDR photo from that, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.

Howdy folks. I'm overwhelmed by how many have poked and prodded me since my disappearance, thanks one and all.
Honestly I've been in a funk I can't shake, work sucks, the Donald, Covid, riots in the streets. Mad mad world out there and I'm avoiding media in all it's forms for my sanity. I've missed and wondered about ya'll but I have this thing about I can't visit one and not visit all and man I've dug a hole I'll never get out of.
anyway, boohoo boohoo. I worked a half day Friday and made up my mind to just go, screw the haze and bad light, I gotta get out there. Kids, when you are outta shape, don't make Tolmie Peak your first outing. Uphill both ways... Gertrude is parked on the other side of the far lake (Mowich) and my heart, legs, and lungs let me know about it. This is Eunice Lake and the rarely seen North West face of Mount Rainier. Sorry for the crappy light, but its either this or a shot of a porcupine....
Hope all are well, hugs to you all. Be safe out there.
ps, check out first comment. this is what it looks like in good light, if you don't know Dave, check him out
The ring of fire from the October 14, 2023 annular solar eclipse. I was so happy to have captured some good images of the eclipse. This was my first attempt at a solar eclipse. It's just cool to think that's the moon in front of our sun.

This was taken on 21.8.2017 on a fine day at the football ground of Brigham Young University in Rexburg, Idaho, USA. For the beginning and partial eclipse, a Baader AstroSolar Safety Foil was used before the lens. This foil is CE-tested and reduces the intensity of sunlight by 99.999% (optical density 5.0). This image was taken without the foil.
A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun's disk, as seen in this 2017 eclipse. Solar prominences (in red) can be seen along the limb as well as extensive coronal filaments.
It is safe to observe the total phase of a solar eclipse directly only when the Sun's photosphere is completely covered by the Moon, and not before or after totality. During this period, the Sun is too dim to be seen through filters. The Sun's faint corona will be visible, and the chromosphere, solar prominences, and possibly even a solar flare may be seen. At the end of totality, the same effects will occur in reverse order, and on the opposite side of the Moon.
40 years and three days ago the Fuji of the Northwest blew 1300 feet off its top and most of its North face. Still doesn't look too shabby from the South though...... :)
Howdy all. My computer died two weeks ago and while I had permission to use Darling Tonia's it is the most uncomfortable set up ever (the monitor sits on a steam trunk so you can't face it and don't get me started on that chair. I kept up with my group and my recent activities but that's all that my neck and back could take.
(if we are friends on fb, I have spent the last two days trying to log in, but alas, no luck yet, stay tuned.... :)
I had planned on getting down to the old girl this year so's to have a recent shot, but I have not left my house since my vacation in March except for work the past two weeks, so nothing new to see here. Covid free as far as I know, hope you are as well. Drop me a line if you have something killer I missed or if I missed a tale that you'd like me to hear, I doubt I'll be able to dig outta this hole, not enough hours in the day.
I thought I’d try something different for this morning’s sunrise. Might have to wait a few years until I can try another version though 😂
Sorry, I got locked out the past several days. It seems my email account that's dedicated to flickr never gets used and they wanted to make sure that I'm still me....AND NOW I'M LOCKED OUT AGAIN.
I was recently lamenting the fact that there are so few places to get a reflection of Mount Rainier, Reflection Lakes, Bench Lake, Mirror Lakes, the tarn near the top of Plummer Peak (when it's still there) Aurora Lake, and this tarn at Indian Henry's Hunting Ground are all that I know of. It seems all the water running off is in a hurry to get to the bottom. :-)
Sorry 'bout the awful light, I started that hike at dawn but arrived about noon and didn't have a polorizer, I think I logged 21 miles of amazingness that day, still my favorite day on the trails.
I was visiting Antigua Guatemala this past weekend and watched in amazement as the Volcán de fuego erupted. When I arrived Friday everything was normal and the volcano started smoking some time during the day on Saturday. After sunset on Sunday you could begin to see a little bit of lava coming out of the top but around 12am the show really started! I watched the lava pour out like this for hours and it was incredible to see. As far as I know it is still erupting and my thoughts are with those in its path.

Love is a burnin' thing
And it makes a fiery ring
Bound by wild desire
I fell into a ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
The taste of love is sweet
When hearts like ours meet
I fell for you like a child
Oh, but the fire went wild
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
I fell into a burnin' ring of fire
I went down, down, down
And the flames went higher
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
And it burns, burns, burns
The ring of fire, the ring of fire
The ring of fire, the ring of fire

Was exploring Lembata island with a motorcycle and saw THIS to my right! This beautiful volcano is on another island of Adonara. Also mountains on Solor are visible in distance :)
This tide level does not
stay at sunset, just that day was perfect for long exposure :)
I say so because tried to make another better picture there for 3 evenings but sunset was by far not so colorful, neither tide was low...
Not expect but accept
We have to be happy with what we have because this chase of "bigger" happiness can lead to disappointments

This was taken on 21.8.2017 on a fine day at the football ground of Brigham Young University in Rexburg, Idaho, USA. For the beginning and partial eclipse, a Baader AstroSolar Safety Foil was used before the lens. This foil is CE-tested and reduces the intensity of sunlight by 99.999% (optical density 5.0). This image was taken without the foil, moments before the earlier posting. The coronal filaments are not as long, but the prominences are strong. Near the lower left there is a very thin edge of the sun visible. Beads are not quite obvious, but the irregular contour of the moon is appreciable when looked at closely.

2017 Solar Eclipse - Bessemer Bend, North Platte River, Wyoming.
This is the moment of the "diamond ring" effect as totality is ending and the sun begins to emerge once again from behind the moon.
I took this photo hand held with my wildlife photography equipment and was surprised it was able to capture several prominences and Bailey's beads. An interesting two minutes to learn the settings needed for eclipse photography - no second chances and every second needed.
