And now for our daily shots, here some of our adventures back home when we went to visit the Landingan viewpoint. Our predawn journey to Landingan Viewpoint began in the quiet of 5am with the roads empty as we navigated the winding routes of the province. By 6:30am we arrived at the viewpoint under a sky of thick clouds with the air still cold and crisp like a menthol. The viewpoint was high above the landscape which we had to climb first shows a breath taking panorama of mountains while the Cagayan River snaked through the valley below.

The sun seemed to struggled to pierce the thick early morning cloud, its beams slicing through gaps like spotlights as glows on patches of the mountain land. The cool air carried a refreshing minty experience, cleansing our lungs with every deep inhale 😁. Far below is the Cagayan river as it quietly flow with the rugged terrain surrounding it. We stood in awe and wonder the world feeling vast and as if we’d stumbled upon a secret where earth and sky conspired to create this breathtaking morning magic. Kudos to the locals who keep their community free from any illegal loggings and other illegal activities that could corrupt this beautiful place.

Though the clouds denied us a clear morning sunrise, their cotton like forms added a mystical quality to the morning scene. The tones of gray clouds and green mountains, the whispers of wind through grasses and trees and the distant calls of some birds sent deep the sense of calmness which not often we find. In that moment, time seemed to pause even for a short while which is a reminder of nature’s quiet power that seem to heal our beings.
