The majestic Mayon Volcano boasts of its perfectly-shaped cone. The nearby ruins of Cagsawa Church stands as an enigmatic testament of the past.
Mayon, the most famous of the active volcanoes of the Philippines, is a perfect stratovolcano rising to 2462 m on Luzon Island. It erupts very frequently.
Background:
Mayon is the archetype of a symmetrical stratovolcano and one of the world most active ones. It has frequent eruptions producing pyroclastic flows, mud flows and ash falls that repeatedly triggered large-scale evacuations. Mayon's most violent eruption, in 1814, killed more than 1200 people and devastated several towns.
the volcano rises 2462 m above the Albay Gulf and has very steep upper slopes averaging 35-40 degrees capped by a small summit crater.
Historical records of eruptions date back to 1616 and range from strombolian to basaltic plinian, with cyclical activity beginning with basaltic eruptions, followed by longer term andesitic lava flows. Eruptions occur predominately from the central conduit and have also produced lava flows that travel far down the flanks. Pyroclastic flows and mudflows have commonly swept down many of the approximately 40 ravines that radiate from the summit and have often devastated populated lowland areas.

Located behind Albay Park and Wildlife. One of the best places to view Mayon Volcano and Legazpi City is the Lignon Hill (also spelled as Ligñon Hill and pronounced as /li-NYON/). This 143-meter high cinder-cone hill located 11 kilometers southeast of the volcano’s summit is the highest location in the city’s downtown area and towers over the adjacent Legazpi Airport. A long and winding road crawls up the sides of Lignon Hill where there is an observation station constructed on top. This is where the Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology (Phivolcs) has a permanent station to observe Mayon.(wikipedia)

Famous for its “Perfect Cone”, the Mayon Volcano is the Philippines’ most active volcano and the most popular tourist destination in the Bicol Region. With a height of 2,463 meters, it is the centerpiece of the Albay province, which is about 300 kilometers southeast of Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
This was as close as I got to the Mayon Volcano during my visit to Bicol last year. On our way back from Sorsogon, the weather was very cloudy, drizzling even in some parts and I was lucky that it cleared up a bit as we were passing Albay (on the outskirts of Legazpi City).

Painting – Acrylic on Cnavas 14 x 18 inches
This small piece was painted as a gift to a special lady from the Philippines who worked in Hong Kong as a “live in” domestic helper for a long time (over 20 years). She left her family in the Philippines and worked in Hong Kong to make money so that her family can have a better life at home. Although the money was good (by her native Country’s standard) and her employers are very nice people, the existence as a domestic helper in Hong Kong is not an easy one. However, she is one of the most loyal, sensitive, diligent and kind hearted person that I have come across. She is at the twilight of her “career”. This work was done in appreciation of what she did for us when our paths crossed fleetingly in Hong Kong and for her to remember us by. I chose a Philippines landmark as my respect to her and her beautiful home Country.
Mayon Volcano, also known as Mount Mayon, is an active volcano in the province of Albay, on the island of Luzon in the Philippines. It is Renowned as the "perfect cone" because of its almost symmetric conical shape, The mountain and its surrounding landscape was declared a national park 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. Local folklore refers to the volcano being named after the legendary heroine Daragang Magayon (English translation: Beautiful Lady). It never ceases to amaze me that the areas around the volcano are quite well populated. The local people just go around their daily lives and agricultural activities as if it is just another normal rural environment. Perhaps they do not have a choice!
After several days of dark skies, Mayon finally showed up before being slowly engulfed again the by the oncoming mist.

San Miguel Grande Island is a 10-minute boat ride from mainland Tabaco City. I took this photo at midday with majestic Mayon for a backdrop. The island hosts an aquamarine reserve that was adjudged in 2002 as the “Second Best Managed Reef in the Philippines”.

Mayon has the classic conical shape of a stratovolcano. It is the most active volcano in the Philippines. Since 1616, Mayon has erupted 47 times. The beautifully symmetrical Mayon volcano, which rises to 2,460 meters above the Albay Gulf, is the Philippines' most active volcano. The structurally simple volcano has steep upper slopes that average 35-40 degrees and is capped by a small summit crater. The historical eruptions of this basaltic-andesitic volcano date back to 1616 and range from Strombolian to basaltic Plinian. Eruptions occur predominately from the central conduit and have also produced lava flows that travel far down the flanks. Pyroclastic flows and mudflows have commonly swept down many of the approximately 40 ravines that radiate from the summit and have often devastated populated lowland areas.
Also known as Mount Mayon, this stratovolcano can be found in the province of Albay, in the Bicol region, on the island of Luzon. It's been measured to be approximately 2460 meters high and is world-renowned as the volcano having the "most perfect cone" because of its almost symmetrically conical shape which was formed through pyroclastic and lava flows from numerous past eruptions. It is the most active volcano in the Philippines, having erupted 49 times in the last 400 years. Mayon's last eruption occurred late last year.
