Clock Vine, Thunbergia mysorensis, Thunbergia Andreson x Bedd

A stunning flowering vine originating from India.

The bright yellow/maroon flowers were hanging in clusters from a pergola at a friend's garden. 

In the garden I tend to drop my thoughts here and there.  To the flowers I whisper the secrets I keep and the hopes I breath.  I know they are there to eavesdrop for the angels. ~ Dodinsky

Ridge/ABC Wednesday

 R is for Ridge

 Tagaytay ridge is prized for its view of the Taal lake and volcano.  It's the edge of Taal caldera that stretches to approximately 32 kilometers  (20 miles) from Mount Batulao to Mount Sungay where the People's Park in the Sky is located.  Elevations range from 2,000 feet to 2,326 feet above sea level.  Not sure though if it's a crater ridge, a volcanic caldera ridge or a fault ridge.
A ridge is a geological feature consisting of a chain of mountains or hills that form a continuous elevated crest for some distance.

Everyday Life Around The World: Fire

Taal Lake and Volcano @ mirandablue

No actual fire in this photo, but this volcano is one of the active volcanoes in the Philippines, and part of the Pacific ring of fire.  About 50 kilometers south of Manila, Taal Volcano is an island in Lake Taal, situated within a caldera formed by an earlier, very powerful eruption. The last major eruption was in 1977 but alert status level was raised to 2 in June this year which indicates the volcano is undergoing magmatic intrusion which could eventually lead to an eruption.  As the crater lake temperature increased, with hot ground and steam emissions, the area was declared off-limits to the public and high-risk area for residents.


This photo was taken from the Tagaytay ridge along the highway.
