Mt. Guiting Guiting and Mt. Mayon in one frame |
Traveler and photo hobbyist John Mark Esmeralda shares his incredible shot of Mt. Guiting Guiting and Mt. Mayon while on the plane traversing near the Tablas island.
According to his Facebook post, which has now reached 6.8k likes as of this writing, he was watching the views outside the plane's windowpane when he got a good sight of Mt. Guiting Guiting. While waiting for a better angle, he noticed a cone-like shape shadow structure from afar. He then cross-checked his intuition on Google Maps and confirmed that it was Mt. Mayon. Interestingly, the tip of the two mountains was perfectly aligned.

"Sharing with you an image of Mt. Guiting Guiting and Mt. Mayon in one frame from my flight to Manila from Iloilo.
So whenever I am seated by the window during flights, I have this habit of watching the views while looking at Google Maps. The plane traversed near Tablas island, giving a good glimpse of Mt. Guiting Guiting. As I wait to get a better angle to take a photo, I noticed a cone shape shadow structure from afar. At first, I can't identify what it really was as it was covered by clouds but I already have a hunch in mind. I cross-checked with my phone and it became clear that that was actually Mt. Mayon. What made it more interesting was that they were aligned. I'm so fortunate enough to have captured this image.
