#1025 - Lubong-Nangoloan Falls Shots for Friday.

🌤️ Happy Friday TGIF, beautiful Hiveans! We made it. Whether the week felt fast or too slow, let's all take a moment to breath and be proud. Today’s about gentle week-long closure. Just like my sister in law who finished her task like folding laundry, let's do it too with steady hands and no rush. Let's hare a "thank you" because kindness echoes. Sending you calm energy, deep inner peace and the knowing:
You matter because you’re here on Hive. Salamat for being part of our hive. Rest well, shine gently😉☀️.

And finally to our daily shots this time in Zambales. It was a late gloomy morning on our second day of stay as we ventured to Lubong-Nangoloan Falls in Zambales which is just about ten minutes from where we got a transient house near the Liwliwa beach. There was a typhoon during that time that had swept through the northern provinces. Yet, as we arrived, the rain held back which offered us a moment of good time in this natural sanctuary. The journey to the falls was also a 10-minute ride on a carabao cart, it was slow and rocky but it was a journey through time where the hooves were heard and the sway of the cart transported us to the serene falls.

As we approached the falls, the water was purely clear. The falls was a crystal clear brush which source from majestic mountains in the distance. Despite the ongoing typhoon, the waterfalls remained crystal clear waters. The scene was a breathtaking contrast to the gloomy sky.

Then we found ourselves in the company of other tourists. We rented a small cottage near the falls that offered a perfect vantage point to appreciate the waterfall's beauty. The cottage became our sanctuary especially during a short rush of rain where the sound of the falling water was a soothing lullaby.

The opportunity to capture the moments presented itself. My wife stood and sat by the waters, her presence wearing an orange upper garment was a perfect blend of grace and adventure. Our friends had laughter also joined her for the shared experience of being in such a peaceful serene location. And there amidst the group was Boston, their loyal companion wagging his tail. I captured lots of the moment's magic.

The gloomy late morning was forgiving and had given way to a day of discovery and joy. The Lubong-Nangoloan Falls is just a simple a place where the beauty of the world could be found and appreciated. The experience, the adventure, the friendship and the natural wonder were memories to be cherished, so go out and don't stop collecting memories too and share them all here, no matter how small, it's definitely bigger than you imagine 😉
