Photographer’s Note

This is the view from Taal Ridge, in Tagaytay City - less than a hundred kilometers south of Manila.

The volcano that you see in the background appears small, but the larger part of Taal Volcano is submerged... what merely sticks out of the water is the crater. The mountain range beyond Taal Volcano is Mount Malarayat in Quezon Province. This entire lake envelopes yet a smaller lake, which is inside the volcano's crater (hence Taal Lake is usually called "a lake within a lake').
