Double Rainbow Surprise at Buenavista

Place: Buenavista, Bohol, Philippines

Once in a while, mother nature can suprise you just when you need it.  I was driving going to Talibon for 1.5 hours already and we were in Buenavista approaching the next town Getafe (or Jetafe to some people).  The late afternoon drive was making me drowsy.

But everyone on board the car got so excited to see, as we approached a curve, a beautiful rainbow that looked so majestic and grand!  Good thing I bring along my camera most of the time so I took several shots.

The mother walking along the highway and carrying a baby with her other child along her side was the perfect accent to the frame.

We talked about the sight for a while until we reached Talibon. No one was drowsy the rest of the way.

As we reached home and I downloaded the pictures to the computer, we found another surprise! There was another rainbow just above the main one and it wasn’t obvious with the naked eye.

Sunset at San Miguel

I was driving one Saturday afternoon going to Talibon, Bohol and the sun was already setting.  I passed by a fairly large rice field that had the hills as its edge and these hills are themselves the edge of the cluster of the Chocolate Hills.  One of the better sunsets I have seen was happening [...]
