Mt
Manalmon is a hill in San Miguel, Bulacan. A place of wonder for people
who like the outdoors. Being that Bulacan is a province north of Metro
Manila, this is an easy getaway especially for a weekend if you like to
do a day hike exploration. Mt Manalmon though by standards is just a
hill, its terrain and the surrounding topography including scenic
rivers and caves is a delightful soiree. As is for me, an amateur
mountaineer, this place was a good place for the culminating activity of
the Basic Mountaineering Course I attended with Sykes Outdoor. This was
really more of an opportunity to travel that I grabbed, and more so
that its a work sponsored activity, it was a treat to explore nature
while spending less.
Doing
nature treks like this gives mean opportunity to photography beautiful
things while trekking, like taking photos of wild flowers along the
trail. These blossoms were only a handful of the photos I took, taking
photos in this manner allows me to appreciate these flowers without
plucking them, and of course I didn't spend most of my time ogling
behind the camera. Reminiscing the moment of seeing them is a far more
better experience, especially those pink and white blossoms that look
like cherry blossoms or like Sakura from Japan. Honestly, I haven't seen
Cherry Blossoms up close, but if they look a lot like these then I am
sure they are very beautiful.
This
white blossoms were hiding in the shade, near the summit of Mt
Manalmon. I was extra careful with taking some shots as there are wasp
buzzing around the bush full of this flowers.
