Default My First Post

This shot was taken during my summer vacation in the Philippines last April. It was taken in La Union province north of Manila on our way to Baguio City.

I don't know if i can find this place again in the same condition on my next visit this coming summer considering that a strong typhoon hit the Northern province of the Luzon island (La Union Province included) last week that cause severe floods and many casualties.

This is a Pseudo-HDR processed using Photomatix.
Camera:Nikon D90
Lens: Nikkor 18-105 mm. VR

Have a great day to everyone here at DPS!
