Reasons why I like taking photos of landscapes and sceneries:

#1. They are simply breath-taking.

You see, seeing beautiful things works wonders. It clears your mind and leaves you speechless, sometimes all you can say is "wow". In my case, there's just no fitting way to admire their awesomeness but to insert some expletives like "T*ngina ang ganda!" (So f*cking beautiful!) to emphasize its beauty. This is true both for sceneries and people. If you know what I mean. hahaha

Just.Look.At.That.

In this world where we are so caught up worrying about many things, jobs, personal problems, horrible clients, assholes, and even financial problems, it is vital to stop thinking once in a while and just admire these wonders. I like taking these pictures simply as a reminder that they do exist, and most of the times, they're not that far as you have imagined. Well, conservation is another thing. 

#2. You'll never run short of materials.

Keep walking. Keep exploring. You'll see it all around. When the time comes that you are having a hard time finding these spots, then we have a problem. Again, conservation.

Conservation. Apparently the smell of my foot is vital to the ecosystem.

 #3. Landscape photography over self shots.

I am not a big fan of selfies (self shots), mainly because I don't have the appeal of Ramon Bautista, Daniel Padilla or Sir Chief (depending on which age or demographic group you belong). This is not an issue of having a low self-esteem, but rather out of respect for the environment. Not that my hotness causes global warming. #BOOM! hahahaha! Taking off from Mr. Lourd de Veyra's blog "Selfie Destruction" (http://www.spot.ph/this-is-a-crazy-planets/53218/selfie-destruction/1), ego-photography is not my thing. It is not a sin to have a solo picture with great sceneries as background, pero utang na loob, kung sakop na ng mukha mo yung buong frame at halos wala nang makita sa background, wag na tsong. Photobomb ka e. Don't get me wrong, kanya-kanyang trip lang yan. Kung yun talaga trip nyo, walang basagan ng trip. 

On a serious note, I just want to point out that we are not the center of everything. Sometimes, we just have to give way to the beauty of nature.

Caveat. Don't take everything I say seriously. I can be a hypocrite sometimes.

Rakenrol.
