True to say, when we travel, we get to see everything our eyes can reach. Traveling connects us not just to places, but also to people, their rich culture and history. It opens our eyes to opportunities and possibilities. Moreover, traveling provides us memories and experiences that we will be happy to look back one of these days.
Negros Island is not just rich in beautiful destinations situated on top of the mountain. The island is a gem possessing beautiful falls, lakes and rivers. In all places that I visited in Negros, I have always come across with bridges, not just small bridges but huge ones. One of the bridges that we passed by going to Cafe Alicia and Mountain Chapel is Balayong Bridge.
I went out of the vehicle and did not hesitate to take photos of the bridge and the river. The river is huge. I can see the shiny, round and big stones along the river. I could not imagine how big the river can get during rainy season and when storm rages on. It could swallow several storey buildings with its huge mouth. Rivers are treasures but during bad weather, it could be disastrous.
Specific load limits are placed. With it's strong foundation, I think the bridge could hold up even more. And since I think that the foundation is firm, the bridge could survive even the largest current of water flowing in it.
No matter how big waters came rushing in, this bridge will remain strong in connecting places. May we also be like bridges, who connect people regardless of status in life. Let's not also forget the Hive is our bridge in being part of each other's journey here. Just like a bridge that connects places, Hive also connects people from various places around the globe. That's why we're here and we know each other.
This is all for today's blog. Be safe, everyone. Until the netswriting.
Wow! Ka abunda sa tubig dha ma'am @netswriting
Oo maam. Naay manglaba bitaw diri. Ehhe
A view like that with a river somehow gives me peace of mind.
True. There's a sense of solitude and tranquility☺️
Hello @netswriting! Is this from Negros Oriental, ma'am?
Yes maam.
Yes, I truly agree that travel was one way to discover new things, like knowing other cultures and also to discover who you really are.
Exactly. Travel also heals from things no one apologizes for.☺️
Even the river looks pretty, I bet people go down in there too, to have fun maybe?
For sure. Some do their laundries there when weather's good.
I like to wash clothes on that shallow river Ma'am @netswriting hehe
Yes maam. Naa gyud nanglaba paghapit nako. The river's kind when the weather is good. Murag nindot gani unta i-sawom2 maam. Hehhee

Why it's called balayong mam nets?
Wa nako giresearch sir. Ahhaha basta na amaze ra gyud kos kadako niya.
I travel for work, and for some it is drugery, but for me it is a joy.
I love to watch people in airports, and listen for languages and accents different from my own.
I love the variety of life on earth, yet the comonality of purpose that so many people share, regardless of point of origin.
Travel opens your eyes to the great differences between people and countries , as well as the great similarities.
Both are joys to be embraced and understood.
I liked your post and enjoyed the ending: connecting the concept of the bridge to Hive.
I love the artful use of language, you did it very well.
:)
Ohhh, thank you for these beautiful words and I couldn't agree more. True indeed that traveling offers us different dimensions of people and culture.
Sorry for this reply.☺️
your welcome, and no worries
