PhotoHunt: Water

Filed under Photohunt, travel

When I found out this week’s theme for PhotoHunt, I immediately thought of its purest form—that which flows from a mountain. I couldn’t think of any mountain better than Mt. Banahaw.

Mt. Banahaw is a mystical mountain in Quezon province in the northern part of the Philippines. It is said to be one of the psychic centers of the world. It is said that only those who are ready to heed the call of the mountain can make it there.

Here’s an account of the Banahaw legend. And here’s a shot of one of the streams that flow from the mountain:

I miss Banahaw already. :(
