#1001 - Diguisit Lighthouse in Baler Aurora Shots for Thursday.

Warm Thursday lovely Hiveans! As they say, remember that every challenge is a stepping stone to something great. When life throws obstacles our way, let's see them as opportunities to grow stronger and become wiser. Stay resilient and keep pushing forward and never quit. Our journey is unique and every step no matter how small, brings us closer to your dreams. Keep moving, keep believing and always have faith.

Now for our daily shots this time in Baler Aurora. The morning sun up but we're the first that day to embark on a hike to the Diguisit Lighthouse in Baler, Aurora. The air is already warm as the sun beating down on us as we set off around seven in the morning. My son, wife and I dare the challenging trail with small rocks and uneven terrain testing my son's resolve and balance, he's a PWD but is strong.

The rough path is a mix of dirt and stone that winds its way up the hill where the lighthouse is with the sea can be seen in the distance. The greenery around us is lush and vibrant, the hills and mountains are a canvas of green that stretch out as far as the eye can see.

About halfway up was when we pause to catch our breath because we're already sweating despite the early hour. The view from this vantage point was breathtaking, the blue widevsea and the hills full of greens in the distance. My wife captured the moment and our photos were proofs of our journey and the beauty that surrounds us.

My wife and I continued the ascent while our son got left behind and don't want to proceed because the trail becomes steeper. The white lighthouse comes into clearer view as we get closer. We finally reach the summit after a couple of minutes as our hearts pounding with the push and excitement.

The white lighthouse stands tall and proud and its presence reminds the rich history of Baler. We took photos in the area from every angle with the sea stretching out before us and also the mountains providing a dramatic backdrop. The view was panoramic and we're humbled by its grandeur.

However, the sun heat becomes increasingly unbearable with high intensity. We're also not dressed for hiking that morning so our bodies already full of sweat. So we decide to leave but my wife phone was filled with memories of our journey and these photos on Hive were a lasting reminder the beauty we witnessed this day.

Follow me on my nature travels.
