WEEK 8: Baguio Sunrise

This is a picture from my winter break vacation in the Philippines. One of our many stops was Baguio (bah-gee-oh) City, which was famous for its "cold" weather; the lowest temperature would be 68 degrees as compared to the Philippines high 80s in winter. My family and I were staying at a house and just came back from a 5:30 AM worship service that was a walk away. My parents and relatives were cooking breakfast in the kitchen while I was watching my brother and younger cousin explore the small backyard. This picture was pretty much the background of the backyard, and it was quite a spectacular view! Since it was around 6-7 AM, the sun started to break out and shine over the cityscape. I took the time to see the sun rising in the new landscape in a city I have not been in before, especially in a country my family was from. While admiring this view at that moment, I was in awe of this one-of-a-kind view in a beautiful city. Although my picture couldn't quite capture the natural light slowly easing in, it was quite an amazing moment to take the time and witness it myself!
