Monomad Challenge: "Paradisiacal Views at The River" Black and White Challenge

The beauty of the Environment is the gift from Nature. It is for us on how to take care of it and maintain the beauty of the surrounding. River is one of the bodies of water that is perfect to visit specially during summer season. A best spot for Nature travel adventure and fit for those who loves Nature Travel. For today's black and white entry of mine initiated by #monomad challenge allow me to share some of the fascinating and relaxing views here at the river. I only lived in the Province that is why the only things I always seen are rivers, streams, stones, wild plants and landscapes.

River here is very important specially for agricultural porpuses, the fertile soil and water are very important to all farmers. Different kinds of stones, including its shapes and sizes can be added as a good attraction of the river.

📸 A Carabao Swimming at The Fresh Water:

Everyday, there are few Carabaos here at the river. Tied the ropes on the river side so the Animal can swim at the water. This carabao was having fun time lying down in the water for a day, and this is the best reward for them for the hard works at the field plowing the land and pulling heavy things just like crops. There are lots of shallow and deep fresh water here perfect for the Carabao but it also needs to checked because this river surprisingly flooded even if there is no rain happens here.

A Strong Water Current:

This strong water current is perfect for a simple water rafting but the problem is it is not really deep. Children loves to play here go with the flow of the water. The reason why it contains a strong force of fresh water is that the water was flowed in a small water channel. The wavy fresh water creates a crystal color because of the Sun's reflections. It is truly seen the Simple, freshness, calmness and the Natural beauty of the place. Each side of the cliffs surrounded with lots of wild plants and tall trees grows and lots of fresh water animals like fish, crabs and shrimps can be seen and found swimming under water because of the clearness of the fresh water which happens only summer season.

📸 A Big Rock Walls and Floors at the River:

This huge rock walls and floors are also addens the beauty of the place. Many big flood happens here and this rocks always hit by big flood. As for that the surface of the rocks where strong water currents always flows is now turned into a shinny and lots of moss plants grows. Sometimes, there are people went here just to washed their clothes and placed in the wide and plain rock surface.

Sandy and peebles particles are also seen here and because the water is keeping low due to intense heat, some of it are completely showed at the surface in the dry land. This river is really tempting for those who wants to visit here and perfect spots for camping and picnic trips.

📸 A Mushroom Near At The River:

This is the pretty mushroom plants I've seen in my life. I only seen this kind of mushroom in fairytale stories at the movie but now I already seen it in actual. The first thing that comes to my mind is that a fairy live or seating at the top of the mushroom. River hid different kinds of wonderful and Paradisiacal views and most it are not yet discovered and explored.

Until next post, have a nice day to all of us.
