I recently picked up my tripod and filters again and headed to the province of Aurora in the eastern side of Luzon.  Although Baler would be the obvious destination in Aurora, it is after all a mecca for surfers and wanna-be surfers, we skipped it for Dipaculao. But like them surfers we were chasing waves as well, among other things.

What is it that makes one travel for hours just for a few shots? I guess its our own version of communing with nature, just like its the waves for surfers or the summit for mountaineers.

Our day starts before the first light breaks over the horizon.  It was still quite dark when we started getting our gear ready. The waves thundered as they hit the huge rocks of Ampere beach, I can't see them yet but I can feel their force.

Twilight in this neck of the woods does not last long, so when the first warm rays starts appearing, we all went into a beautiful zone, trying to quickly absorb the symphony of bursting colors, thundering sound of crashing waves.

It was indeed a beautiful morning, I hope you enjoy the rest of the set:
