      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.
