#1094 - Magnificent View from Aurora Lighthouse Shots for Monday.

Good morning and a fresh start this Monday to our dearest Hiveans everywhere! Wishing you a Monday filled with clarity and positive momentum. Let's make this week together truly count. Have a fantastic and productive day my fellow dearest Hiveans!

Moving on once upon a morning in Poblacion, Baler where the air was still cool when we set off after seven in the morning. Our mission that day was to hike and get close to the Baler Lighthouse. As we started walking up the path as the first visitors of the day and the only sounds were our footsteps and the distant of waves from the sea.

The trail wasn't a gentle but it was a proper rocky climb and path over uneven small stones. For my son who faces challenges with his feet because he's PWD and need to be careful with his steps. We did it slow and his determination was lit but after some incline, he decided he's good and gone far high as he could. My wife and I continued upward while he found a comfortable spot to stand andcrest and enjoy the beautiful view.

The final push to the lighthouse was worth every rocky step. Suddenly, there it was, the iconic Baler Lighthouse standing proud against the vast blue sky. Painted in white and with a panoramic view from the top was indeed breathtaking. There's an endless deep blue sea stretched to the horizon too dotted with a some small islands.

By now the morning cold was neigh because the sun was high and fierce with only some cumulus clouds in the sky. The lighthouse itself seem to glow also perhaps because it's white. We took some photos quickly while trying to capture the stunning blue ocean and sky

Then we started returning down the path and found our son waiting patiently. We showed him some of our pictures from the top so to make sure he felt part of the adventure. This shared experience was the real reward, making our simple family outing hike to the Baler Lighthouse a morning we'd always remember as family.
