22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Echoes of Serenity: Nature's Hidden Symphony

Nestled deep within the mountains of Dingalan, this hidden waterfall called "Abungan Falls"cascades gracefully, its waters whispering tales of nature's untouched beauty. The photograph captures a moment where time stands still, inviting people to pause and breathe in the tranquility of the untouched wilderness. Each drop of water, shimmering under the soft daylight, speaks to the purity and resilience of nature, reminding us of the timeless dance between earth, water, and life. It was one of my favorite travels in my country climbing up the steep path up towards the mountain to see this waterfalls was worth it's hike.
