#993 - Mount Timbak Shots for Tuesday.

Lovely Tuesday and embrace the coming change, dearest Hiveans. Life is a journey and change is the only constant thing there is to it. Instead of fearing let's welcome it with open arms widely open😉. Every change brings us new opportunities and new experiences that shape us become stronger and 💯 wiser individuals. Remember that a caterpillar must transform to become a butterfly. So, spread them wings and fly away. You got this!🌱

Now for our daily shots this time in Atok's Mount Timbak. My wife and I reached the summit of Mount Timbak just as the sun began to ascend gradually, my wife and I stood at the top of that morning's hike, the cold air was a contrast to the warmth slowly building with the rising sun. The hour long hike and trek had been made of nature's sounds.. the crunch of leaves underfoot, the distant calls of birds and insects. As we reached the top of Mount Timbak, the surrounding Cordillera mountains unfolded before us in a panoramic display of beauty.

The vantage point offered a breathtaking view of the surrounding mountains and their peaks covered with fog or clouds, the clouds so low they seemed to cover the tree tops and mountains. The landscape was a painting come to life made of green and blue blending seamlessly into the horizon. We spent some of the moment to catch our breath but our hearts swelling with awe.

My wife began to capture the scene as much as I did zooming in on the wildflowers that dotted the landscape. There were vibrant bright yellow wild flowers. I squat down taking the shots carefully of them the wildflowers. Each click of the shutter was a testament to the beauty we were privileged to witness.

Looking into the surrounding mountains, we were struck by the sight of the low-lying clouds clinging to the peaks like a soft, white blanket. The scene was surreal like a dreamlike quality fairytale. We took photos as we were trying to capture the essence of the moment, my camera shutter snapped here and there.

As we stood there we saw some of the vegetables farms of the Igorot locals here as the world below us slowly coming to life with some farmers already up and working tilling their lands. The hike had been a bit challenging but the reward was beyond measure. The view from Mount Timbak was more than just a sight but it was an experience, a journey, and a memory that would stay with us forever.
