TRAVEL PHOTO | Caramoan Peninsula

Caramoan, Camarines Sur

Caramoan Peninsula is a place of scenic landscape, off its coast are a scattering of Islands and Islets with about 10 principal islands that are frequently visited by travelers and a site location for the reality TV Show Survivor. An approximately 12 hours of travel time from Manila by land, one could say "How far is it to paradise?" but paradise it is. The charms of Caramoan in the Bicol Region can easily compete with the landscape that we so concentiously compare with MIMAROPA Region. Just one visit for me and I realise that there is no need for me to look at other Asian countries for their travel destination gems, we have our own beautiful corner in here.

Travel Photo | Bolinao Rock Formation

TRAVEL PHOTO | Bolinao Rock Formation
Patar Beach, Bolinao, Pangasinan

One of the must see place along the long stretch of Patar Beach is its side of Rock Formations trust out into the breakwaters. An overflow of volcanic rock or lava from a long time ago volcanic erruption, evidence of Bolinao's violent past. All over Brgy Patar is a scattering of Volcanic rocks and underground caves, what makes the Bolinao Rock Formation special is that since it extends beyond the beach and serves as break water for the incoming waves of West Philippine Sea, it becomes a very good vantage point to look over the rugged landscape of Patar and its Golden Beach just above the eye level, a treat for landscape photographers and photo enthusiast.

Sagada, Mountain Province

Kiltepan Viewpoint is perhaps the most scenic place for sunrise viewing in Sagada as the Sea of Clouds at eye level hover a valley, littered with Pine Trees along rugged landscape of The Mountain Province, in the Philippine Cordillera's.

Mountain | Above The Clouds And Under The Stars

MOUNTAIN | Above The Clouds And Under The Stars
Return To Mt Timbac (Mt Singakalsa)

"You never climb the same mountain twice, not even in memory. Memory rebuilds the mountain, changes the weather, retells the jokes, remakes all the moves."
-- Lito Tejada-Flores

Above the sea of clouds and under the stars we were.

There was a moment when we all braved the cold and stepped outside just to watch the heavenly moon hover the night sky, like a midnight sun giving just enough illumination to the landscape. Its dark, the weather is cold, but we felt the warmth of inspiration creeping in our hearts, it was a site to behold, and so like paying homage to this beautiful place, we stood in silence as the bright moon revealed itself behind the passing clouds.

Pangasinan | Cape Bolinao Lighthouse

PANGASINAN | Cape Bolinao Lighthouse
Photos Of Bolinao Lighthouse

A tower placed on a vantage point of Bolinao Pangasinan. Known to be the 2nd tallest lighthouse in the Philippines.

In a broad daylight, with few drifting clouds, stepping into the threshold of this abandoned lighthouse was hot. Without a camera filter, my photos would have been glaringly exposed.

Bolinao Lighthouse is a noted destination to visit for every visitor of this lovely coastal town.

A Photo from the open gates. A little hike up, the lighthouse stoods proud on top of a hill.

Standing few meters at the foot of this massive tower.

Being in a close proximity, it is difficult to make the tower fit in my frame.

The tower is no longer in operation, as is, that the building beside this lighthouse is abandoned and dilapidated as well. A nice contrast to frame this beautiful lighthouse.

Sagada | Wild Flowers From Mountain Province

SAGADA | Wild Flowers From Mountain Province

I had the pleasure of visiting the beautiful town of Sagada, in the Mountain Province twice for two consecutive years. It has brought some of the most memorable travel adventures and experience, not only that, due to the cool climate, the photowalks along the rice terraces with scattering of wild flowers and small gardens lit up the environment, it is a place rich in Floras. So here I am sharing some of my prized set of Flora Photos taken while I was wandering the hills of Sagada.

This photo was taken during a tour of the Echo Valley, a place behind Sagada's Gothic church and local cemetery. This was among the treasure's of the Church garden.

Mountain Views from Mt Mabilog

Not all Mountains would have a 360 degree view where you can expect to witness Sunset and Sunrise spectacles in an overnight camp. Some summits view would be blocked by perhaps another mountain, some would look like a glen or garden, some covered in thick forest of trees, one can't really compare one Mountain to another no matter how similar the trails and challenges they present. 

Golden Hour Sunrise from the Summit of Mt Mabilog, overlooking the Holy and Devils mountains Mt Banahaw and Mt Cristobal. Below on the left side in the clearing of fog, can be seen Lake Pandin.

MOUNTAIN | Sunset Photos While Climbing Mt Gulugod Baboy

The first mountain for me to climb, and glad I did one Saturday afternoon in the middle of February. I've read about just every niceties you can attribute to the lovely summit of Mt Gulugod Baboy, its sinuous landscape providing a 360 degree views of the surrounding terrain which is mostly bodies of water and rolling peaks of mountains, it also means that the place offers a beautiful view of the Sunset and Sunrise from opposite direction so it a perfect campsite to experience outdoors.
