#1055 - Mount Mariglem Shots for Tuesday.

Great day dearest Hiveans across the globe! A hopeful and bright Tuesday to you all. The week is now beautifully unfolding, and this day brings the perfect blend of fresh momentum. Let's make this Tuesday a chapter of significant progress and quiet small achievements. Sending waves of positive thoughts to each of you. Have a truly fulfilling and successful day ahead dearest Hiveans😍.

And now for our daily shots features, we were already halfway going up Mount Mariglem in Zambales, and it did felt like we stepped into a completely different world. The early morning when we hiked was thick with clouds and fog that sticks to our jackets and somehow wet our hair and jackets.

The trail itself was somehow a bit of a challenge.. it was rocky, uneven wet and hlslippery also muddy from the rain the night before. Every step required focus while watching our footing to avoid an injury. It was not an easy hike at all.. in fact it was a bit tough. It would have been a much simpler and easier climb if the weather was fair and the path was also dry.

But despite the stormy conditions, our spirits remained high. We were a small DIY team just me, my wife and a couple of good friends that wanted this adventure. We didn't have much difficulty getting to the summit but it was a constant physical test of our will especially me because I had a diarrhea that time😂.

We took our time frequently stopping at different points to catch our breath and take scenic photos. The thick fog created its own mysterious atmosphere, wrapping the trees and the mountains areas.

When we finally reached the summit, we had a moment to cheer. The world at the top was a pure white cloud or fog. We couldn't see well some of the famous panoramic view of Zambales but it was somehow more special of an experience.

The summit experience was quiet and a bit cold. We took our summit photos with big smiles in our faces while standing in a landscape that felt harsh and peaceful. It was a beautiful and unique kind of experience compared to other hiking adventures we had with the wife.
