Amazing Or Scary?

January 14, 2020 by arlene

This photo was taken by a photographer who lives in Calapan, Oriental Mindoro. Calapan is about 118.8 kilometers away from the volcanic eruption.

credit goes to Arden Pimentel Photography. Arden works at Calapan City Tourism.

The photo was captioned TAKBO (run in English). How do you find this picture? That’s Taal Volcano in the distance spewing ash while the children were busy running towards this phenomenon or running away from it. I find the capture spectacular but it also spells danger to all. It gives me the goosebumps.

That’s a wonderful photo, and I am sure it will sell around the world. The kids seem to be running into the water to get closer to it. I would be heading in the other direction!
Best wishes, Pete.

  Perhaps they were not aware of the danger.

It looks surreal. There’s a kind of mysterious beauty. One that seemingly aroused the curiosity of those children. As a parent I want to scream , “get back here!!!” Thanks for sharing Arlene. Be safe.

  Thank you Stanley. Perhaps they were curious to see it. I agree with you, it is beautiful but deadly.

Impressive photograph, Arlene! Without knowing about the volcanic eruption it would simply convey happy playtime at the beach for a group of children.

  They’re probably not aware of the danger.

It's been some years since I started this blog. Supposedly, it was only to share my plight as a cancer patient and survivor but over the years it has somehow evolved into something personal about my life and my family. So really glad to have met you all wonderful people out there. Someone commented once that he liked the title of this blog, Dreams and Escapes. Dream on, there are more things in life than we really think. Be happy, you only live once. Sometimes you also need an escape from the vicissitudes of life and this blog helps me cope. Welcome. Feel free to leave your comments, I do welcome them.

It’s been a while. I am reblogging this here from my main blog Dreams and Escapes. I hope you’ll find time to visit it to. My gosh, I got so excited when I saw it. There are several designs actually and all with Biblical passages. One of the vendors in our subdivision is selling them. […]

What A Surprise!

I can’t believe I haven’t touched and visited this blog like forever (an exaggeration of course) but I was so focused on updating my main blog so I forgot about this. Early this morning while I was watering the plants, I looked up at our jackfruit trees and saw this. I was hoping I could […]

He Is A Big Boy Now

Nonna’s joy. I think this is the second time I posted a picture of my grandson here. He is turning six this coming November. Time flies. Happy Grandparents’ Day to all proud grandparents like I am.

Something To Think About

Gosh. I haven’t updated this site for so long concentrating instead on my main blog Dreams and Escapes. I hope I would be able to post more in the coming days.

My Garden Blooms

This is just my 89th post after three years of blogging. But I have always been updated with my main blog. You can find the link here on the right corner of the blog. I’ve recently took shots of our garden blooms. Summer is here and more blooms could be seen. […]

Something To Think About

I have a whole album of quotes that I made into memes. Some are passages from the Bible, some are words from famous people. This is one of them. Gosh, it took me so long to update this blog but I regularly post in my main blog, Dreams and Escapes. Good morning everyone 🙂

When The Sea Speaks

I want first of all, to be at peace with myself. I want a singleness of eye, a purity of intention, a central core to my life that will enable me to carry out….obligations and activities as well as I can. I want in fact – to borrow from the language of the Saints – […]
