   Summary Author:  Paul Anton D. Mahinay

   Shown above are eye-catching, cumulus clouds as observed at sunrise
   over  Mt Makiling, from a highway, near Batangas, Philippines. The
    golden color of the clouds at right is due to the  increased
   pathlength of sunlight (greater  scattering) as the Sun approaches
   the horizon. Note that the  cirrus clouds (lower left), attaining
   higher altitudes than the  cumulus clouds, show little coloring.
   Additionally, airborne dust and haze act to further  enhance
   scattering.

   Mt. Makiling is a dormant volcano. Its name is derived from  Maria
   Makiling, a guardian fairy of the mountains in Philippine Mythology.
