Windows Photo Viewer Icon and the Philippines

Are you using Windows Vista or Windows 7 operating system on your computers? More likely you have used the default photo viewer of these operating systems, which is the Microsoft Photo Viewer. I was working on an 8-year-old DVD archive of my photo shoots last night and my DVD-ROM could hardly read the DVD and so the images' thumbnails were not yet loaded as I look at them at the windows file explorer. And so the default Photo Viewer icon is shown.  The program's icon kept me thinking. I think I saw this before. Have you?

The Gui-ob Church ruins is a Spanish colonial era Church which was over-run by lava from Mt. Vulcan's eruption last 1875.

Mt. Vulcan

Mt. Vulcan is a volcano that erupted furiously during the 19th century and has dramatically changed the land feature of western Camiguin Island. Before the eruption, the area was one of the thriving settlement during its Spanish colonization not until it was completely buried and is a part of the Bonbon town of Camiguin presently.  Schadow1 Expeditions went out for about an hour trek to map the path of this 580 MASL inactive volcano.
