Hive Philippines Travel and Nature Photography #507 - by Allmonitors

#507 - Travel shots for today. Port of Real and Cordilleras.

A blissful Thursday evening fellow beautiful Hiveans. Early morning today I was given an opportunity to drive my brother in law's car which is a Honda BRV and the experience was awesome because it's automatic and the interior is well and very comfortable. I used it to drive my son to school which is about a kilometer away. I drive my kid every morning when he is to go to school because there are no vacant jeeps during rush hours. When going home, he already has to ride the jeepneys because there is no rush hour anymore in midday. I always use the second hand mpv that I bought earlier this year which is a manual car. And driving an automatic really has its perks of comfort 😂. How I wish I could replace my old car with another old second hand automatic in the next five years or so.

Moving on to our daily photos and this time is about travel, so this next two sunrise shots were taken in the port of Real in Quezon while we were waiting for our boat ride going to the tiny island 🏝️ of Jomalig which is about 6-7 hours of boat ride, depending also on the speed of the boat bound to the island. There are larger boats like fast craft but they only have routes to the largest island here in Quezon. We can see the sun rises and there is also a fisherman's boat about to return after an overnight fishing in the sea.

Another wider shot of the sunrise with the clouds also in the horizon.

While the sun is rising around five in the morning, there are also other people here waiting for their boat rides going to the big island of Polillo.

Another shot of those people at the port waiting for their boats.

Then the next two shots are in the Cordilleras region, this first one was in the mountain area of Sagada one early morning. We just joined a couple who were also bound to a place they call Marlboro county where there is a great view of the rice terraces in this part of Mountain Province but when we got there everything is covered in fog and there is no great view at all. The mountains are all covered with fog, even the sun has difficulty in showing up. The experience here was cold too, we just hope that nature could have been a bit forgiving and didn't had to produce all these large amounts of fog so we could have appreciated the views. Well, we were out of luck perhaps that day. I wish we could go back here once again in the future but without the fog.

A view during our hike in Sadanga where we could see a lot of greens in the mountains areas. They also have rice terraces here as a source of their food.
