The moment we reached the summit of the mountain, we rest for a while, took some pictures, and enjoyed a great view. After a while, we made our way down the mountain. As we merrily follow the path leading towards the shore, the great contrast of the mountain was noticeable. The part where climb in going up was almost a dead one. It was covered by black stones and is barely supporting life. While its other side, tall grasses covered the whole stretch. But since it is summer, the grasses are all brown except those at the bottom of the mountain.
But even if the grasses were all brown, it still has a beauty of its own. If only I had enough time to stay, definitely I could have spent more time capturing this perspective. But since I traveled with a group, I had to maximize whatever opportunity there was to frame my subjects.
After several steps from the top of the mountain, we were at the shoreline again. Since this part of the island is facing the West Philippine Sea, the waves here are rolling one after the other. On the other side of the island the waves are a bit gentle, but in here, they are more alive.
Aside from the active waves rushing to the shore, one can possibly notice right away the stones that scatter all throughout the area. You name it and this island got it. From the powdery like sands to giant stones and rocks, they all converge in this island.
Just a word of advice to those who would like to visit this island. You better equip yourself with a pair of sturdy sandals and be prepared to get wet any moment. The path that leads toward the Capones lighthouse is not an easy one. The moment you'll lose your footing on the slippery grounds, you'll end up hurting yourself. All necessary cautions should be observed while enjoying the whole stretch of the trip. And you don't have to hurry, one step at a time will do the trick and it will not hurt if you're going to take your sweet time.
With the beauty that surrounds the place, lots of pictures along the way will definitely make the memory of the place lasting. And most probably, the best part in taking pictures would be allowing yourself to experience the splash. Yes!. It is definitely a total fun experiencing the waves against your body while making your striking pose.
