#1057 - Baler Aurora Beach Shots for Saturday.

Greetings dearest lovely Hiveans across the world! A joyful and relaxing Saturday to us all. This is our day to unwind and let our spirit breathe after a full busy week. Hope we get to fill these weekend hours exactly as we wish. Sending a huge wave of positive energy to each of you. May your Saturday be as bright, peaceful and wonderful as you are😉.

Now for our daily shots, here is some scene right after the clock had just ticked past four in the afternoon at Sabang Beach in Baler, Aurora when the harsh heat of the day was finally out and unfelt.

It was the perfect time to be by the water and it seemed most of the visitors like us in Baler had the same idea. People began to come out of their transients, hostels and hotels and all were heading toward the sands and the waves to take a dip in the cool, salty ocean.

The energy on the beach was contagious to all who were around. My wife and I found a spot on the warm sand to leave our small things before going in the water. The waves were small but great for surfing and the sea was packed with surfers, locals and tourists.

Some were experts, they effortlessly ride the curly waves all the way to the shore. Others were new, beginners who were just taking lessons closer to the beach.. their laughter were loud each time they tumbled. But not everyone was there for surfing. Many people were just like us.. simply wading into the shallow waters letting the waves push and pull at our legs at the same time feeling the stress of the city life getting washed away.

After our quick dip in the salt waters, we felt refreshed and the surrounding scene was just too beautiful not to capture. My wife started taking pictures of the people. We then turned the camera on ourselves and took photos with the backdrop of the sea, my hair even still wet and salty.

As we sat on the sand to dry off, we just watched and had some small talks. We saw families, groups of friends and couples like us just walking along the long line of sands. Everyone was chilling out and unwinding in their own way. We sat there together just taking in the breathtaking view. It was the perfect and peaceful afternoon.

Follow me on my nature travels.
