travel zen on tuesday - moonrise in zambales, philippines

Interesting fact:

That space between the grass in the foreground and the trees in the background is not a river -- well, it used to be one. But, the eruption of Mount Pinatubo in 1991 and the resulting mud and debris flow that came through when it rained, turned the river into a solid surface (or, as the locals call it, lahar). The government is taking pains to reclaim the river.
