#883 - Sunset and Sunrise at Pagudpud Ilocos Norte for Saturday.
Greetings dearest Hiveans, as Saturday dawns in half of the world which awakens from its slumber, ready to embrace the day with open arms. The sun rises, casting its warm and welcoming light upon the earth, banishing the shadows of the night. The air is 💯 alive with the sweet scent of possibility, as people of all ages and backgrounds come together to share in the joys of the weekend. May your Saturday be filled with laughter, love and endless opportunities for adventure. As you step out into the day, may your heart be light and your spirit free. Lively greetings to you and to your significant people and may the world be your playground!
Moving on now to our shots of the day, as the sun sets over the rocky beach of Villa Izakaya Beach Resort in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte, the world was bathed in a warm, golden glow. The sky is painted with hues of orange, pink and purple, a masterpiece created by the fading light.
The rocky shoreline, kissed by the gentle waves, shimmers with a thousand tiny diamonds. The air was crisp and cool, carrying the scent of salt and seaweed. The resort stands as a beacon of tranquility with only the four of us as guests during our two nights of stay.
As the sun dips below the horizon, the world is transformed into a dreamlike state, the magic of the golden hour washing over all who witness it. In this moment, time stands still, and the beauty of the world is revealed in all its glory.
Then as the first light of dawn broke over the horizon, we set out to explore the enchanting Caunayan Point, known as the "Little Batanes of the North." Nestled in the picturesque town of Pagudpud, the point offers breathtaking views of the sea facing Batanes, its rugged cliffs and rolling hills stretching out towards the distant horizon.
The air was crisp and cool carrying the scent also of salt and seaweed as we stood at the edge of the cliff, our eyes drinking in the beauty of the scene before us. In the distance, a cluster of windmills dotted the surrounding mountains, their blades rotating steadily in the gentle breeze.
The landscape was a study in contrasts with the lush greenery of the lowlands giving way to the rocky terrain of the hills and the azure blue of the sea merging with the bright blue of the sky. It was a moment of pure magic, one that we would cherish forever, as we stood on the edge of the world, our hearts soaring with the wind.
