Chosen Category: Nature Category
Location: Bil-at, Tubabao Island, Oras Eastern Samar
Photo Title: “Stage of Natural Beauty”
Who would have thought that behind the riskiest and most dangerous venue of photography lies the most beautiful scenery. Yes, you read that right! At a place called Bil-at (not the wrong side of what you are thinking), on an Island named "Tubabao", located at Oras, Eastern Samar, lies this stage perfectly situated before the deeps of the Pacific Ocean.
This stage is very beautiful because with the mix of the right waves comes a beautiful photograph of the beauty of nature (even with waves you need the right ones). But anyways, taking this scenery can be very dangerous because you can be carried along when waves coming from the Pacific ocean is too big and strong. You also need the perfect timing when to go up or come down. So, before the photo was taken I prepared my self to run up top but carefully. There were three attempts because the first wave was too weak. The second wave was good but my pose and face was awkward. And finally, the third one was a hit. It was a big wave which I was almost carried along if I did not place my other feet in front of me as a support. And when the current became weaker and the water started flowing down, I immediately stood up and pose. Then boom! Behold, the stage of natural beauty.
I was really scared to try it. My heart was really beating fast because one wrong wave and I'm wiped out of existence. But nevertheless, It was so cool! What is fun in discovering what nature is concealing when we don't take risks?
"Bil-at" is the back part of Tubabao Island. And I really love this place, because here there's no other place of being one with nature. Here, I am able to appreciate the need to sustain the beauty of nature and here I can say that "it's more fun in Eastern Samar!"
Around this beautiful stage lies also photogenic rock formations, and swimming pool-like swimming areas which are all natural. But I wanted to give you nature's finest. So, what do you think?
