#1098 - Dingalan Aurora Shots for Tuesday.

Good morning and a bright Tuesday to our dearest Hiveans across the globe! Let's use today to actively lift each other up here on Hive, a simple upvote can go a long way. Wishing you a Tuesday filled with energy and tangible progress. Have a fantastic day, everyone. Let's make it count😊.

Once upon a time when we drive to Dingalan in Aurora Province which was a journey of winding roads that along the mountainside. Our target was the famous Pacific Viewdeck and see the beautiful coastline from what is called the "Small Batanes of the North." I was with my wife and our friend Dandreb, when we arrived at the road, we began a short climb.

Reaching the top was an instant reward with it was a breathtaking platform. Before us was the mighty Pacific Ocean stretch to the horizon with its deep blue surface. The view inland was also stunning—with range of lush, green mountains in the distance.

From there, we drive to the port and chartered a boat with other fellow tourists going to the area they call the "Small Batanes of the North."

The comparison from the Pacific Viewdeck made sense. The landscape here transformed into grassy hills that plunging into the blue ocean, a beauty of the far north islands with the backdrop of the Sierra Madre mountain ranges. We hiked for about an hour after the boat dropped us off.

There's clouds covering over the sun which offered us a perfect filter. We could stand there completely exposed with sun beam exposure soaking in every detail of the 360 degrees surroundings, the greens of the mountains and the blues of the ocean, the clouds allowed us to enjoy the summit with comfort. We took our time taking photos with the cool breeze from the sea.

Standing there between the mountains and the sea with good company and kind weather, it was one of those simple travel moments feeling awed by a view that truly earns the word "breathtaking." which Dingalan gave us that gift.
