Fundacion Pacita, Batanes

 

Hi ,

You must be thinking that I’ve left and has gone to Europe, stayed in a fancy hotel with a lush jardin à la française. But this is actually in Chanarian-Tukon. To be exact, it’s Brgy. Chanarian-Tukon, Basco, Batanes. This is Fundacion Pacita’s owners’ beautiful garden, which I have accidentally barged into upon inspection of the place. This place is actually off-limits to visitor, but curiosity took me there, and after a few more steps, I found myself face-to-face with the house caretaker. He wasn’t mad, but I can tell he’s not pleased. Hehe. But as I told you, Ivatans are the nicest of nicest, he let me took a shot of this wonderful view anyways, having sensed that I mean no harm and the only weapon I carry is my trusty D40.

I’ll see you soon!

Tayid Lighthouse, Batanes

 
Hayiii!

Now Batanes has several lighthouses and this is one of them, right smack in the middle of the hills. Batanes has been really generous. It has given me breathtaking views of the seas and hills, the nicest locals on the planet, and as seen in the postcard above, beautiful light that helped me freeze this moment and send it to you. 

Morning View, Batanes

Hello !

I know I just have to capture this moment! I just have to! You know one of my favorite albums from Incubus? Yeah Morning View! Kinda reminds me of this shot.  But nah, this ain’t Malibu baby, this is Batanes!

Hay wish you were here *wink*

Vayang Rolling Hills, Batanes

Hi ,

 

The hills are alive! This place has been bookmarked, dog-eared, whatever, in my mind ever since Sibika at Kultura days. So the first time I laid my eyes on these rolling hills, I can’t help but whisper: “Done. I can die now.” Kornik I know.
