#1160 - Mount Mariglem Shots for Friday.

A happy Friday our amazing Hive family everywhere! Wishing everyone a safe and wonderful Friday. May the next two days bring you plenty of laughter and relaxation. Stay awesome and keep smiling✌️.

Now for our daily shots on our trek up Mount Mariglem but during a typhoon which was affecting the region. Despite the gloomy clouds and the threat of rain, my wife, our two friends, our guide and I decided to push through. We were already there on site and we didn't want the weather to fail our spirits.

The trail was rocky wet and only a bit slippery but our guide knew the way. When we finally reached the summit, the weather still wasn't cooperating. There was no sunrise and the horizon was completely covered by thick clouds.

Even though the weather wasn't on our side, the moment we stood at the peak was spectacular. We might have missed the clearing panoramic views but what we saw was just as breathtaking. The landscape looked like a scene from a fantasy movie, greens and alive.

We stood there at the summit smiling widely. We enjoyed the view of the green mountains and the sea of rain clouds around us. We took photos which was a reminder that nature is beautiful in all its moods. We shared a few snacks, laughed and just soaked in the gloomy weather.
