Batanes, Philippines
Our group woke up very early.
We then sped to Valugan Beach (without breakfast!) in the hopes of catching the sun rise.
Of course, when you are in a big group, you cluster or disperse to the "best spots" ....but...you really have to strive to get a shot without any person in your viewfinder...
in fact, some "old-timers" who were there before us grumbled a bit saying we would be spoiling the scene.
I don't mind if people crowd way up front of me...I will just take them as part of the scenery and the experience.
I enjoyed just watching the sun slowly rise and turn the skies pink then a light gold...
Scattered around here are some pictures of our group members using their equipment to shoot the sunrise or the beach.
Below is a picture I grabbed from another group member to show how at one point some of us were positioned.
ang ganda! you're so mobile!
ReplyDeleteahahaha!
ReplyDeleteHelene, when you said mobile, I thought of myself riding a Segway all over the Philippines
*bumpity-bump-bump*
btw, if you do visit this beach, stand still..and listen...
ReplyDeleteyou can pick out the sounds of the waves crashing...
but underneath it, you could also hear the big boulders and rocks being dashed against each other by the waves...its almost like hearing a bowling ball hitting tenpins :-) but on a much louder scale of course!
