Skywatch#32 Mt. Pinatubo: Lahar Pastureland
As we rode our 4x4 vehicle going Mt. Pinatubo under blue skies with scattered fluffy clouds, we passed by not only the lahar-covered lands of Tarlac but surprisingly, a small patch of pastureland where cows can be seen scattered around.
For more than a decade, lahar ruled supreme all over the then part of the rice basket of the Philippines. Hectares and hectares of ricefields, forests, rivers, streams and communities were inundated by lahar during and after the 1991 Mt. Pinatubo eruption. Slowly though, the land is healing.

Has it really been almost twenty years since the largest eruption in living history?!? It looks so disarmingly peaceful...
Wonderful photo and a pretty shot of the pastureland.
A beautiful view Marites...I'm glad to read that the land is healing. Thank you for stopping by my blog and for your kind words this morning.
A nice choice for skywatch. I like the muted colors.
I hope so too. Happy SWF!

Are the volcanic ash fertile? I asked because in Sarawak, my parents used to heap soil up and burn them. To make them fertile, they said.
kalapad! ... great one Tess... Thanks for the drop...
Look at that terrain; I'd love to go walking across that to the mountains! So peaceful.
