w a w a
after being sick and depressed, i was invited once again by my photographer friends for a photo trek in helping me to overcome these "downers" of life. with very little planning and preparation, four of us went to rizal province, particularly in montalban to visit a small place called wawa.after stuck traffic for a few hours along marikina-san mateo, we finally arrived in baranggay wawa. before entering the place (i think they declared it as a a national park), you have to pay a toll-fee for the cars (php20) to enter. as soon as you passed the checkpoint, you can go wherever you want to go.
enter wawa
i dont want to bore you with the detailed trek but definitely this is a place for hikers, mountain bikers, mountaineers and photographers. my friend who's with us came to the place before and we didn't have difficulty in going the nice sceneries. the local people here are very friendly that even one of the houses obliged to let us cook for lunch (with pay of course..hehe) and extended more of the usual hospitality (they gave us sweet potatoes!).
the usual backpacker
the path here is better than sagrada familia (zambales) and it's easy for flipflop-wearing trekkers. the paths are somewhat rocky especially ascending to the wawa dam but passable. after the dam, the pathway is loose earth. you can enjoy your views there while walking. you can see caves (they have four according to some sites), limestones, waterfall and the quiet river.

athough we didn't went further for the trek (im just recovering from sickness), we stayed until early afternoon to shoot, shoot and shoot. due to impromptu trek, im not aware that my batteries weren't charged (stupid me) enough for the trip and opt for mental capture and very picky snaps.

the wawa gorge
hopefully before i disappear, i could visit this place once again...

What other people think:
i also looked at forsaken photos and they're really good esp. that of your hand and the ring. very cleverly done.
your current photos are fantastic. you absolutely have a good eye.
