POSTCARDS | Not Your Usual Baler
Saturday, January 05, 2013
It’s my second time in Baler and I was trying to better the landscape photos that I took from the same place more than a year ago. Although I came prepared with the proper filters and microfiber cloth for sea spray this time, the light just wasn’t there when we checked out Aniao Islets; I failed to capture the images that I have in mind for the second time.
Redemption came a few hours later as we set foot at Cemento Beach. Surfer waves and craggy rock landscapes is what Baler is in my book, so I was surprised to find a causeway that has fallen in disrepair in the area. I haven’t seen this part of Baler in the worldwideweb and we were lucky enough to have the light bloom into godrays the moment we stepped on the beach. It isn’t the iconic Baler landscape that I was looking for, but it is good enough until my next Baler escapade.

ReplyDeleteI love the warm tones, and the perspective! :)
Ito ba ay isang tulay? Anung causeway? Ganda, nakakatakot lang kasi mabato.
ReplyDeletethis reminds me of WW II photo i have seen of Normandy.
ReplyDeletegreat composition.
it looks polluted and contaminated. kind of sad and dirty.
ReplyDeleteit was an old boardwalk, dito rin nagsusurf ang mga bad ass surfers kasi buwis-buhay dyan pag malalakas ang waves sa dame ng bato.

Second time ko pa lang din Marj, there are still places dun na di ko pa napuntahan :)
I have been to Baler, and it is truly a wonderful place. In this post, you painted Baler with more beauty and colour. :)
