A photojournalist takes pictures of Mayon volcano during its "mild and quiet eruption" as seen from Legazpi city in Albay province at dawn Sunday, July 16, 2006, about 340 kilometers (212 miles) southeast of Manila, Philippines. The Philippine Institute of Volcanology and Seismology, PHIVOLCS, raised the third of a five-staged alert level of Mayon volcano three days ago after recording several earthquakes and observing "lava trickles" flowing down its slopes. The volcano, a major tourist attraction because of its near-perfect cone shape, last erupted in 2001 forcing the evacuation of more 50,000 people. (AP Photo/Bullit Marquez)

(AP) -- The flow of lava and rock fragments from Mayon volcano southeast of the Philippine capital has picked up, scientists said Sunday, increasing the possibility of a violent eruption soon.
