Rainbow Connection (with Mayon) © Jojie Alcantara 2010

“My soul is in the sky.”  ~William Shakespeare, A Midsummer Night’s Dream

I captured beauty in the skies when I saw two perfect creations of Mother Nature in the same frame.  It was a very clear day, and I was lucky to be flying closer to my dream volcano, the perfect Mount Mayon (Philippines’ dangerous beauty and most active, I grew up just seeing it on my textbooks).

It was raining on the other side of the mountain.  As we hovered around it, from gray clouds emerged a rainbow.  It blew me away.

It was an emotional moment for me.  Mother Nature was telling me there is always a rainbow after any storm.

This was one of the photos published in Mabuhay Magazine Sept 2010 issue featuring my shots of Mount Mayon from a chopper.
