Mount Mayon


When I arrived in Legapsi City in the province of Bicol I walked from the plane to the terminal, as you have to in most provincial airports. I looked back and saw Mount Mayon and took the above shot for the heck of it. Good thing I did, for the next 2 days that I was going around the city I would not get another clear picture of the volcano. It turns out it is constantly covered with clouds. Photography lesson - take the shot, you never know what the conditions will be like the next time.

Your photography lesson's similar to my philosophy on shopping in a foreign country: When you see something you like, buy it on the spot, because who knows when or if you'll get another chance?

Of course, this only applies to things you really want and can truly afford ;^).

So true D, those treasures I bought in China and Uzbekistan are priceless even if I paid too much for them. When will I ever go ack there . . . well hopefully I will end up back there but in the meantime I'm happy with my loot.
