EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the haunting beauty of the ruins of the 18th century Spanish Franciscan church of Cagsawa, located in Barangay Busay, Daraga, Albay, Philippines. The church stands as a poignant reminder of the destructive power of nature, with the smoking peak of Mayon Volcano looming ominously in the background. In 1814, an eruption from Mayon Volcano devastated this once majestic church and left behind only its skeletal remains. Today, these ruins serve as a testament to both human resilience and Mother Nature's might. The intricate details and architectural elements that have survived over two centuries showcase a blend of earthquake baroque and Catholic influences. The image perfectly captures the contrast between man-made structures and natural forces. The crumbling walls stand defiantly against time while smoke billows from Mayon's fiery mouth in an ever-present reminder that our world is constantly changing. As you gaze upon this photograph by ARO from Discover Images by AWL, you can't help but feel a sense of awe at both the fragility and strength displayed within it. It serves as a powerful symbol not just for Filipinos but for all humanity - reminding us to appreciate our history while acknowledging our vulnerability to nature's unpredictable forces
