Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1276 – November 01, 2020, 07:52:46 am I grew up on the coast ditching sKool to go surfing. After fifty plus years living in the inland mountains I still miss it. My logger, rancher, sawmill worker friends make fun of my Hawaiian shirts. You can take the boy off the beach but you can't take the beach off the boy. 8 Likes

Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1278 – November 05, 2020, 10:50:21 am Although we are allowed to burn in our area, I’ve always been leery to do so as I didn’t want to be “that guy” who ends up starting a 🔥 fire. I’m sure it’s much less dry in your neck of the woods, though! I won’t even use our wood-burning fireplace until after the first rain or snow of the season (which happens to be in two days!). 🙂
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1279 – November 05, 2020, 11:43:39 am Staying home during the pandemic naturally invites time in the shop to do more projects. Two photos of the continuing restoration of a 1976 BMW R90S. It is now re-assembled and back on the road, but 100 miles of hard riding revealed that more repairs are in order. Some projects are never finished.Honda generator is next on the bench.Harold 5 Likes

Yes, the Pinatubo eruption in 1991 effectively closed the base at Clark:Volcanic Ash Impacts & Mitigation - Pinatubo 1991.NSGA Clark Airbase closed on October 28, 1991. – Station HYPO.Just to clarify, my Dad did not actually take the photos above, he just sent them to me. He currently lives in Baguio City which is in the northern part of Luzon. He is getting ready to move to the extreme southern part of the island, about 60 miles south of the Mayon Volcano. Interestingly, where he is moving to is less than 20 miles from another volcano called Mount Bulusan. It's only the fourth most active volcano in the Philippines so no worries!

Volcanos' how about Taal?While stationed at Naval Station Sangley Point, 1954, I had an opportunity to visit Lake Taal and it's volcano. It was a resort area back then with many tourists, including me and my Class B wife. I understand that there has been a number of eruptions since then. Reminded me of how Crater Lake in Oregon came to be. Taal Lake - Wikipedia 1 Likes
Re: What's In Your Camera? Reply #1299 – November 13, 2020, 05:48:01 pm Taal is on the active list, Steve. I would like to visit it someday. I was hoping to make a trip back to PI next year for a visit but will have to delay it for obvious reasons. Hopefully in 2022!List of active volcanoes in the Philippines - Wikipedia 1 Likes
