#1077 - Pagudpud Ilocos Norte Sunset Shots During Golden Hour for Wednesday.

Good Wednesday morning once again dearest Hiveans around the world! A clear and bright Wednesday to us all. Let's get on moving through this day with a spirit of support and encouragements. Wishing you a Wednesday that is both fulfilling and productive. You got this😉.

And now for our daily shots about travel during one afternoon at the back of Villa Izakaya in Pagudpud Ilocos Norte where it felt like we discovered a secret chapter of the afternoon which was reserved just for us. With the resort quiet most likely because it was a weekday or it's too far to get to.. my wife, my high school son Pochi, our friend Dandreb and I had the entire front of the beach and the glorious golden hour all just for us. There was silence broken only by the waves.

We spent the late afternoon here in simple ways. The water was shallow and a bit rocky near the shorelines so we walked on it carefully. We played in the sand like kids. On the sands were almost invisible small crabs ran fast sideways into their holes, there were also crabs navigated the rocks, some near the coconuts. Little fish also and marine plants where the curiosity of us touch plants we haven't seen or encounter yet.

As the sun began its descent, the world color also started to change. We sat and simply waited. The sky began to melt into some breathtaking canvas. The sun transformed into a glowing orb of orange and gold like colors while reflecting off the calm sea. The famous "golden hour" was upon us, in front of us and it was magnificent.

The cool wind breeze also picked up with the fresh scent of oxygen from the sea. We sat there in silence, completely absorbed with the moment. There were no crowds and no noise, just the four of us witnessing the sun slowly dip into the horizon until the last color of orange disappeared. It was a perfect and peaceful end to our first day here in Pagudpud.
