Calm after the storm in Taal

It was my 40th birthday and we decided to have a shower blessing of our new house in Tagaytay. Little did we know that there was a storm coming at that time. But since all arrangements were made, we had to proceed with the plan. Tagaytay, about 2000 feet above sea level, is known for its cool climate (next to Baguio, I suppose). That day, Tagaytay City was drenched in rain and fog is everywhere. The following day, we went to a restaurant that overlooks the Taal Volcano, considered as the smallest volcano in the world. And here is what we got --- a glimpse of the volcano after the storm.
