Fisher folks "rushing" to their fish cagesOne of the main sources of livelihood in Lake Sebu is tilapia farming. Every morning you will see folks precariously balanced at one end of their dugout canoes tending the tilapia cages. From the outside looking in its a simple and uncomplicated life.
I had difficulty prying my self off the bed that morning. The cold weather (Lake Sebu is about 1000m above sea) did not help at all. I went down to the lake shore and searched for a good vantage point for capturing morning activities. I was not expecting a sunrise shot (its best to get sunrise photos in Lake Seloton) since I was facing the west, but nature always rewards the early bird :).
Rosy morning in Lake SebuLake Sebu's placid morning cannot be fully captured in photos. You have to be there to really experience it. The receding fog slowly takes off its mysterious cover on the mountains surrounding the lake, the distant roosters crow to signal the start of a new day. And the lake is in its calmest.
Placid morningThe few minutes before the "rush hour" is the best. It not too dark anymore but yet too early for folks to start their daily activities. It is on this magical moments that everything seems to stand still. You will be able to hear yourself thinking.

i know what you mean bai, it's really nice to overstay in bed with the cool lake sebu mornings but a photographer has to do what he has to do :-) na-mi-miss ko na itong place na'to. i'm actually wondering when i can go back :-D
ReplyDeleteah, nice to see these sceneries again, i hope, makabalik na naman ako sa lake sebu... :)
ReplyDeleteNaku sinabi mo pa. Kung di lang ako kukuha ng pictures matutulog ako buong umaga dyan. Sarap ng weather tapos yung lake sarap lang titigan maghapon. One of the most relaxing places I've been.
