Mount Pinatubo from above

Going back to the Philippines from Hong Kong is a pleasant two-hour trip. It is mostly uneventful and sleep is sometimes the best way to relax. However, this sight of Mount Pinatubo is something to behold. There is already a beautiful lake where the active crater once was. But mind the traveller, the water is full of harsh elements and is very dangerous to the human body. Looking at the photos I took, you still can see the white lahar area. It is beautiful from above but some time ago, it was a monster volcano spewing out tons and tons of debris from inside the earth! An example of earth vomit.



Sometimes, situations put us in positions where we cannot see beauty but difficulty. It may take a while, and a different angle of view, to see beauty out of the situations we are in. Remember Pinatubo, the previous roaring volcano now seen as a serene and beautiful lake.
