Hive Philippines Travel and Nature Photography #485 - by Allmonitors

#485 - Experienced and smelled nature once in a while.

Good evening my fellow wonderful Hiveans. Sharing some of our experience last month where my wife went with a group of pro hikers to minimize our expenses and save some money so we joined a group. The package includes round trip on a van which can have up to fourteen persons including the driver. My wife was the one who looked and found the group online particularly in a Facebook group. It was her savings also that we used because mine was for the bills and groceries and all that sort of stuff.

The trek was fast because we need to get down the mountain before three in the afternoon where there's a huge chance that it will rain base on the coordinator's experiences with the previous hikes he set up with other people. So we had to walk fast to get to the summit early, we got to this part which is still halfway of the trek but the sceneries are already breath taking from here. There's so much greens everywhere our eyes look upon to, the clouds are so low up there in those mountains. Then there is also a river flowing which seems like a snake dancing over the curves of the mountains. Breathing the fresh air coming from all of these grains while we fill our lungs is satisfying so as the eyes seeing all these wonders.

That's a road carved out of the mountain which can accommodate bikes and ATVs only but other bigger vehicles like car or trucks won't fit on the road. The rough road looks like a snake too from here.

The wife catching her breath while we made a stop and took photos of the beautiful surroundings. Behind her is the mountain with the rough road. Going beyond that, there is another mountain there to conquer according to our guide but it will be for another day.😁

A portion of the rough road reaching the top of the mountain. There are also electrical posts up there which were visible with the naked eye but we have to zoom from this shot to see it.

The wife once again with her waterproof bag. She is enjoying the view as much as we could while resting before we walked again after a few minutes of rest.

She momentarily dropped her waterproof bag so she could have another shot from a different angle of the mountain.😉

The pines leaves somehow covering the free flowing river from afar. We only passed a part of the river when we went climbing, never thought that it will be this beautiful from up here.

Until next time.😉
