#774 - Nature shots in Malico Viewpoint Pangasinan.

A warm Tuesday evening beloved Hiveans. It's my first day of work at I logged in early at six and ended my shift at three in the afternoon. That's also the time my wife arrived from the hospital for her follow-up check with her doctor and at the same time the removal of three stitches on her love handles where a cyst was extracted couple of weeks ago. All is good now, she just have to wait for the wound to heal especially where the stitches were removed. It's also super hot here during the day and it can be felt too in the evening. I was supposed to go for a quick walk after shift but I can't stand going outside because it's hot and humid so I just stayed home.

For our daily shots this time let me get us back to Malico Viewpoint wherein it's also an alternative way going back to our province to avoid the long queue of heavy equipment and trucks along the national road. There's no heavy traffic here because only small vehicles are allowed and no huge trucks so far maybe because there's too much curves and zigzag going uphill and downhill.

The view here is great and the temperature is also cold during the day. There's also stroke winds all over the road. We stopped on the roadside for several occasions to take photos of the beauty that is upon us.

There's mountains everything you look around. There's mountains with tall green pine trees while some of the mountains are brown in colors and it's possible that the weeds or tall grasses have dried out causing it to look brown or it's just the nature of the mountains where the soil is brown.

We stopped by a small canteen along the road, the first to put up a store here in the area where travelers can stop by to rest and have a meal or coffee. The store was built on the cliff along the road so the view from where I am sitting and looking down can make someone dizzy if they are not used to heights. We can see not far that the mountain is carved with the road which we later passed by going to the metropolitan area.

After filling our stomachs with some pastries and coffee we continued our travel which is about four hours more before we can get back. We stopped for the view also since it's going to be a while that we can see this kind of nice sight once again.

Me and the lovely wife doing a selfie with the mountain ranges in the background which is also filled with clouds. It was sunny when we passed here and I won't recommend passing by during the rainy season because there's a possibility of land slide since some of the mountains we see in the background are naked or don't have trees on them so a high possibility of erosion can happen during torrential downpours.

Follow me on my nature travels.
