#770 - Nagtipunan shots for Saturday.

Happy weekend dearest Hiveans and hope is well out there. I just learned that early today during the morning when I went to get a reservation for a checkup on Monday that one of my peers at work who is our next level of support has lost his father this time, just a couple of weeks ago he lost his mother and now this time it's his father that bid farewell. This is sad, losing both of your parents in just a short period of time when you are still grieving the lost of a mother then the lost of a father comes. Perhaps his father has grieved too much because of losing his wife which then affected his health that lead to his demise. That's why it's very important to give as much time as possible to our parents while they are still around so we can spend the most time with them while they are still around. I hope my peer and his family will be ok in this difficult times.

Moving on to our daily shots we got here some scenes which we took when we were back home visiting my parents while my mother is recovering from stroke. We spent a week in the country side and one of the things we did was visit this place called Landingan Viewpoint which is about ninety minutes of drive from where my parents are. We went here early at dawn around five while my parents are still asleep. One of her siblings, her older sister and a niece came with us too together with my wife and sister and youngest brother. We arrived before seven in the morning and that's when we went to climb the mountain that has been planted with several flowering plants and stairs made of rocks. This is a shot of the wife feet with the great view.

The next couple of frames shows also the wife on the rock walls which she sat on afterwards. I wonder how long it took the locals here to put in the stairs and wall rocks.

This is me just spreading my wings and wanted to fly away 😂. The background shows mountains with fogs and clouds early in the morning. We could also see the great Cagayan river swirling on the mountain sides and also the concrete road where the entrance to this mountain is located.

The last three shots shows one of their attraction which is a heart shape or leaf shape art made of several bamboos stitched together where people can sit or stand and have their photos taken. The entrance is cheap so it's not a problem if there's a large group visiting here. The air is fresh which is the most important and the river is also clear. When on our way back home we also bought several kilos of pork meat and a pig head that are cheaper, compared to in the market where our town, which is going to be our viand in the next couple of days we were back home.
