MONOMAD: "Travel Adventure" Black and White Photography

This is my first time to create a post here in this wonderful community and black and white photo is one of my Favorite works of art. Since when I was in Highschool I already liked coverting those photos into black and white. For today's first article of mine here as part of #monomad challenge, allow me to share the wonderful travel adventure in Barangay Pagawan in Manticao, Misamis Oriental. This place is really far from Barangay Poblacion and it needs to travel almost an hour before reaching the place. The most wonderful experienced I had here is the beautiful surroundings including their simple way of living.

Because of far flung places, the water that the residents always used comes from the spring. During my visit here, I tried to taste the water comes from the spring and it is taste very refreshing addens the coolness of the water. Even it is very intense heat, still this water wont dry up.

The water that the residents used comes from here, it comes out under the rocks and cliffs that is why it is safe to drink. The place is surrounded with big trees and wild plants. Big rocks and peebles also be found near at the spring and it flows with a strong water current. The water comes out here are very important to them in fact it is used in all around basis just like watering the plants, Water for farm animals like pigs, drinking water and used to cook foods. The place is very amazed because of its natural surroundings brought by Nature and truly very worth it to visit.

Agricultural land were lots of agricultural and valuable plants like Bananas and coconuts can also be found here. In this vast place were hundreds of banana plants planted is a perfect areas to plant. At the middle of the vast banana plants is the muddy road excavated last year so residents will have a shortcut road going to their place. Every rainy season, this road will filled mud and it will be a great adventure to all motorist to pass by here.

Despite of that expected situations, there is also a concrete road located at the Barangay. Different vehicles carrying goods and products to be sell at the market always pass by here and the concrete road helps the people to have a comfortable travel. This long concrete road leads to the Mountain place of Zone 3A and each side of the roads contains hundreds of banana plants and few coconut trees. This road connected many places here in Barangay Pagawan and it is the only access road going to Barangay Poblacion.

There are also some place that is already privatized and aside of that big and old trees are already well presserved here. It brings a shady and cool place to visit and expected to see lots of wild animals like birds. Even if this place is crowded with many people and have lots of structures, still it is a quite place and there are some parts of the areas are In Nature Presserved.

This big structure of poultry built far from houses and aside of that the owner of this structure really care of the environment. They put some chemicals to the animal manure so there will be no odors and flies wont come. The structure is also surrounded with trees and banana plants and it is built and the slope areas of Barangay Pagawan. Visiting this place was really fun and enjoyable, truly inspired to see their simple way of living. Thank you for visiting my post, have a nice day to all.
