Another stargazer shot taken in Tagaytay. We were really blessed with a clear cloudless night that day and I've gotta say a sight like that never gets old. That sky was literally exploding right before my eyes. Watching all of those stars watching over me gave a  strange sense of peace and comfort and actually brought back warm child-hood memories growing up in Davao. Something I have not experienced in a long long while.

Which leaves me to point out that this is one of the downsides of the technology we have. It's glaring really. With all of our forever-wired gadgets and short-attention spans, it has been increasingly rare for us to take the time and really see the natural beauty around us. 

Now more than ever, it takes a conscious effort to disconnect in order to reconnect.

Clarity will come to those with troubled minds if they know where to look for it.

Shot was taken at Balai Isabel's restaurant beside Taal Lake. The green 'thing' you see at the bottom of the image is actually moss floating on the surface of the lake illuminated by both the moonlight and the ambient cast by Balai Isabel's beach front flood lights. I had to crank up the exposure time and ISO to get the stars to comeout hence, the 'noise'.

Special props to my wife who was very adventurous and allowed me to take us off the beaten path and blaze an exploratory trail towards a side of Tagaytay that we have never seen before.

Thanks G! When's our next road trip? :)
