I was in Naga City again last week for a few meetings. Instead of making the trip via land, we opted to fly to and from Naga in order to save time. I was seated on the left side of the plane and didn't have view of Albay as our plane approached the runway. Fortunately, the similar seating upon departure gave me a nice view upon take-off. As our plane rose from the airport, an all too familiar form became visible from afar. It was a rough take off yesterday but I think I was distracted enough by the images and the scenery below for me to take photos instead and not worry about the turbulence.

Mt. Asog is located in Iriga City, Albay and is also called Mt. Iriga. It is also a dormant volcano. It should be noted again that Bicol has a relatively high concentration of volcanoes with at least two active ones in Mt. Mayon and Mt. Bulusan (in Sorsogon). You can check out a map of the region to see so many volcanoes especially from Camarines Sur, Albay and Sorsogon. Mt. Isarog is also a dormant volcano.
