#438 - On our way to blue soil of Sagada.
Finally it is Saturday and it is also the start of my rest day. I just finished my shift earlier today at three in the afternoon here and also did the laundry right after because I only have one day of rest so I had to compress some stuff I do regularly like the laundry so that I will have other things to do tomorrow morning, not related to household chores ofcourse 😁.
How's your weekend by the way? Cheers to those who are having a couple of beer bottles and those who are out of town with their fams and to everyone else who are just at home like me. I am just looking for a good show right now in Netflix that is short but exciting. I don't like watching long series anymore like the walking dead, it gets boring for me in the long run. Something like Kingdom which is a Korean zombie series, the undead are fast so the show is heart pounding, unlike the Walking Dead where the zombies are so slow and predictable😂.
Anyways let me share now some photos while on our way to the blue soil and some when we got there already. These first three were while on our way, we stopped by for a few minutes of rest under these pines trees so I took a photo of one of them trees, one that's already past its lifetime where the decay is already in progress. I wonder if this tree is still standing up to now or could have been blown over by winds during typhoons that passed by the area.
Here's a shot showing our fellow tourists who are also resting under the trees before we move on to the blue soil which is about less than an hour of trek from here.
We have already reached the secret spot of the blue soil and the sun is up and warm already unlike earlier which was cold. The blue area is completely naked of trees maybe because there's too much mineral concentration here that only weeds can grow.
Where there's no visible blue soil exposed from the ground, we can see an abundance of pine trees in the surrounding area.
Just me again appreciating the copper rich mountain. Miners could have been here already and took the minerals off the mountain but the locals love their nature, they are tight with it and they protect it just like their ancestors did in the past. Large corporations from the capital wanted to invest here but the leaders didn't want anything to do with them.
Follow me on my nature travels.
