738 DZRB AM Band, 8 to 9 evening class, Monday to Friday

Closest I could get a photo of the crater with ordinary lens on a Zest airplane October 19, 2011, 2 pm.from Manila to Virac, Catanduanes .

Landscape view, seconds after taking the first photo above.

Surrounding landscapes: forested area, farmlands and settlements.

Beautiful Mayon, what's inside you?

I peeped within distance of your breath,

And a wisp of cloud veiled your beauty,

and oh, the warmth of your hearth.

Wonder if a woman is of your kind

Beautiful when calm and coy;

Within lies her strength, or her ire,

Her fit when wanting of joy. ~
