#1125 - Shots of The Stobosa Houses of La Trinidad Benguet for Thursday.
Happy Thursday to us all amazing Hive friends around the world! I hope your day is off to a fantastic start. May your Thursday be productive, your coffee hot and your spirit be high☕.
Now for our daily shots on a beautiful late morning as we traversed the road of La Trinidad, Benguet on a midday sun with our "workhorse" because of how reliably it carries us on our provincial trips over the years. We then stopped at the renowned Stobosa Valley of Colors.
I found a safe spot where we we're not obstructing the other passing cars and other vehicles on the road. My wife and our friends hopped out tovstretch their legs and see the view up close while I stayed on the wheel with the engine running. The houses looked like a giant had taken a paintbrush to the mountainside. There were hundreds of small houses packed together with each one painted in vibrant colors creating a stunning mosaic.
They spent a few minutes admiring the view from our vantage point. The houses along the river looked charming. There was also a hanging bridge that connect across the river which looked like the main artery for the community living there. My friend Dandreb walked closer to the railing to get better angle for photos.
Our friend had brought their dog named Boston along and they saw a perfect photo opportunity. With the sprawling, colorful houses providing a magnificent backdrop, Boston sat on a monobloc chair for a shoot. The dog sat perfectly, looking at the camera seems smiling for the shot.
We only lingered for a short while perhaps ten to fifteen minutes. It was amazing to see how a small mountain community could transform a simple hillside into something so beautiful and lively. After taking plenty of photos they went back into our workhorse. Everyone was happy that we had taken those few minutes to witness this Valley of Colors.

Thank you
This Valley of Colors is absolutely breathtaking! It literally looks like a giant took a paintbrush to the mountainside, just as you described. The way the community transformed a simple hillside into such a vibrant mosaic is inspiring. Also, Boston the dog stole the show—he is such a natural model! Thank you for sharing these beautiful shots from La Trinidad. Best regards from a journalist in Bangladesh!
