#964 - Ambuklao Dam Shots for Thursday.

Happy Thursday once again dearest Hive fam! 🌤️ Today, let's choose progress over perfection as small steps still move mountains. Let us pause to appreciate how far we’ve come. Kindness is a form never wasted. The weekends holyweek is already almost within reach but don’t rush it though as today’s moments matter too. So keep shining that unique light!😉✨ #ThankfulThursday #HiveHeart

Moving now to our daily shots, here's more of those travel photos we've taken when we made a stop at Ambuklao Dam. My wife and I arrived just before ten in the morning, yet again missing the dam’s water release by a short while, it's our second time being unlucky😂. Still, we decided to make the most of it nonetheless. We decided to walk along the reservoir’s edge, we admired the calm waters reflecting the bright blue sky.

Despite the heat and humidity clinging to the air, the photographic view made the discomfort worth it. We snapped photos of the water surface, the surrounding hills and with each other while capturing the quiet beauty of the moment.

Next, we headed to the massive spillways with its concrete structure towering impressively over the landscape. Standing above it, we felt the sheer scale of the dam, this man-made power contrasting with the natural tranquility of the reservoir below.

More photos were taken in the spillways, this time with the spillway’s enormous drop as our backdrop. Though we’d hoped to see the rushing water, the stillness had its own charm which could be a reminder that sometimes missed expectations lead to unexpected peace and quiet.

As we left on our way to Baguio, the sun climbed higher and hotter but the memories and our photos would keep the morning’s quiet magic alive.
