The Hills Are Alive With The Sound Of…

… waking people groaning trying to get up off the ground, covered in sand and ash mixture after a drunken stuporĀ  the night before. Well, it probably was but I can’t be sure since I was one of the few who didn’t (or should I say, “couldn’t”) wake up early. I was planning to but I didn’t (or couldn’t). I wanted to get a few sunrise shots since I doubt I’d come back here in the near future. However, the night was replete with activity and sleep was not blissful and my normal body reaction to that is to get more sleep.

Anyway. This is a shot from my collection from last year… from the same Nagsasa trip of Hay Fever and Silica and Weeds database… yes I know… pathetic. But that’s life… well, mine at least. These are the hills that you will see behind the wall of pine that blocks the shore from the land beyond.

This photo is my poor attempt at converting a non panoramic shot into something that I hope resembles the real thing. It does not, thus the “poor” in “poor attempt”. Anyhoo… the other thing I tried here was to remove the blue tinge that casts over landscapes. The background hills were originally bluer than blue… sadder than sad… *ahem* than it is now. That’s as much blue I could remove without making it look too unnatural and I think I did a good job with that.

Also, this is my first post using my new theme!!! I managed to edit and fix almost the whole thing. My thanks goes out to BatangYagit for helping me with the CSS/PHP/HTML/ABC/H2O/ASAP/SOS or whatever hell it’s called crap that eludes my knowledge.

  2. Very beautiful shot, but at my rough estimation I’d guess that the hills are actually mountains na (sorry, Ecology class pushes me to say this)
