Trees at Dawn

Jul 24

Posted by: User Image Jenn {Who am I?} in: 2008 Travels, Places - Northern Luzon, Sky Watch Friday

I will be posting my Sky Watch Friday early from now on (Thursday night) because I decided to use another meme for Friday. Since SWF starts accepting posts early, might as well be early, too!

This picture was shot 04 March 2008 in Baguio City. Sister and I decided to take the 12mn bus ride from Manila to Baguio City because we wanted to roam around the city before we go to La Union (approx. 2 hours away) in time for dad’s first death anniversary. We arrived in Baguio City at 5:30AM, and I told my sister I wanted to see the sun rise, so we went to Baguio Cathedral. I wasn’t able to see the sun rising, but I was able to take some dramatic dawn pictures, and this is one of them.

Originally intended for the Sony Ericsson photo contest during that time, I didn’t pass this picture because it was too plain and it didn’t really live up to the contest theme, “Discovering Philippines.” I still haven’t posted this picture in any of my blogs, so might as well share it here.

Taken using my Sony Ericsson K800i cell phone, set to twilight, no flash. Thanks for dropping by!

Jenn, this is a beautiful picture. I love the still dark trees reaching up to a moody, broody sky which might promise something.)
Thank you for your nice message on my sky watch.

I can’t get over you getting such a wonderful picture with your phone. Love how you give the story behind the pictures. Those low dark clouds are so forboding with the black silouettes of the trees.

WOW, that’s amazing, i love watching it.. you perfectly capture every angle of it.. job well done, well like you, i do have my N70 with me, she’s a very big help for me too, too bad during that time, she was drained and i need to recharge here and so my hubby’s phone was the one i used. to find out he got choose the smallest bytes. but i think it still works great…

hope to hear from you again…
