#259 - Flowers we found at the viewpoint facing the rice terraces.
After reaching the viewpoint to have the best vantage point and see the amphitheater of rice terraces, we had our photos taken by our local tour guide. He was good with cameras already, just point and shoot and the outcome is pretty much what we expected.
So that's me and my wife all sweaty together after an almost two hour hike going ng to this site. We took a deep breaths and just appreciate what nature offered upon us. A hundreds of years of hardwork by the Ifugao locals who lived their lives here to better their families in terms of source of food. It took me some time to appreciate the vastness of what is in front of us. It was breathtaking!
Man and nature living in harmony is what I see here. The locals just take what they need from the mountains and cultivate it for them to survive. The locals here have evolved also in matter of living structures.
Before they use to have the famous nipa huts but since the influence of modern times they have to adapt as well and use concretes and galvanized roof already. Some still sticks with the old ways and still have wooden houses and nipas above it.
So as we were resting I took also photos of the wild flowering plants that grow in abundance along the pathways. This white flower looks like a daisy but is tiny just about the nail in the thumb in diameter.
There is also these orange flowers which I have not seen before. The shape of it is looking like a bell when fully bloomed. They are also tiny in size just about the thumb as well. Any idea about this plant?

With all due respect. All you are doing is re-hashing photos you already posted on Steemit. This is low effort posting and in my opinion, 6 old pics and 250 words are unworthy of the rewards hence the downvote.
Hi yes, this is an old photo but the exif is different from those I have posted when I was in Steemit since this shot makes is unique as each photos have different exifs. I still do have old photos in my collection I have yet to post. It is ok if you downvote if you think is it over valued not a problem, whales also downvote some of my post from time to time. Nonetheless, I post original contents all the time and ai believe in the saying a picture paints a thousand words. Thanks for the inputs.
Yes, I understand Exifs and thanks for taking the time to reply. I'm not a whale, just a regular concerned citizen who believes in a correlation between effort and reward that's all! Not personal, I actually often upvote your street photography and did on the old network too! Best wishes :-)
Thank you and no worries😊. All the best.
How nice that there are people who make us travel to the other side of the world and observe in more detail what we long to see in person 😍, very nice post.
Thank you so much for stopping by. Yes, I kinda take a lot of photos every time I travel to places and wanted to share them all here in our platform. Btw, it is better to see that rice terraces in person the view and feelings all mixed up together up there.😊
