#530 - Batad shots for the day.

A gloomy Monday evening, the weather is still rainy and cloudy and the sun didn't bother to come out smiling the whole day. Per the government weather update, it was due to localized thunder storms and there is no current typhoon yet.

For our photos of the day, this first one shows an area of the amphitheater of rice terraces and the houses of the locals right on the middle part. The life here is pretty slow compared to the fast pace life in the city. It's peaceful, calming and quiet here. A stress reliever to be exact, away from the digital world.

A huge bumble bee just landed on a pink daisy flower to collect its pollens. In the background is the rice terraces, what more these bees could ask for?

The wife looking up where the viewpoint is. Its just a few more steps and we could make our way over it.

Another shot showing most of the amphitheater and with rice terraces which are currently empty because it is not yet the planting season, should be in the first quarter of next year.

I zoomed my camera to take a better look and there we can see several people making their way down from the viewing point. They are going to the Tappiya falls which will be our next destination once done observing from the viewing point.
