Tubig Mula sa Langit

Tubig Mula sa Langit (Water From Heaven)
The jungle does not announce this place. There are no signs, no grand gestures, no clearing that prepares you for what you are about to see. One moment you are moving through green, the air cool and heavy with mist, and then the sound finds you before the sight does. A low, continuous roar that seems to come from the earth itself.
And then you see them. Two falls, born from the same cliff, separating as they descend as if they needed space to gather themselves before reuniting in the turquoise below. The water does not simply fall. It performs. It fans across ancient rock, splits around obstacles, finds every crack and ledge worth exploring before finally surrendering to the pool at the base. From there it continues, threading through moss-covered boulders in ribbons of white and blue, spilling forward in smaller cascades as if unwilling to stop moving, unwilling to accept that the journey is over.
In the early morning on the island of Negros, the light barely reaches the bottom of this canyon. The jungle closes in from every side, holding the mist close, keeping the air cool and still. It feels less like a waterfall and more like a place the world made for itself, quietly, without asking permission.
Water from heaven. Landing exactly where it always intended to.

A Very Challenging Photo

Sometimes a bit of luck is all you need.

When/Where: On August 7, 2026 at the Abbotsford International Airshow during the Friday afternoon/evening Twilight Show.

Tiny Visitor

I was recently back in the woods trying to take some wildlife photos. Sadly, I barely came across any birds that day and whenever I did, they were gone before I could even focus on them.
