I love to visit a place where I can see luxurious surroundings in their brightness, vibrancy, and richness of colorful lights and displays not to mention that I kept on coming back to the vibrant displays of the municipality of Manolo Fortich back then.
I have shared in my previous post a lovely display of an extraordinary huge Christmas Tree in my hometown made from a variety of colorful hot-air balloons inspired by Cappadocia’s most famous hot-air balloons in Turkey. And now, it is a Philippine and Bukidnon version of town-made crafts that are made with recyclable and indigenous materials.
It was almost nighttime when I arrived at the spot. And of course, the first thing that I did was to be captured at a huge Christmas tree. I love to take selfies when I love the background no matter how simple it is. But this time, I am making an extraordinary Christmas tree as my background. Ah! Cappadocia feels for a moment with the presence of the vibrant and colorful balloons behind me.
And then I found a huge hot air balloon with some native materials. This place was like a photo booth for selfies and groupies but I did not have the chance to take selfies there since a lot were waiting in line to go up and capture some snapshots. I do not want somebody or anyone will be waiting for me to capture some shots. So instead of waiting there, I simply captured the huge hot-air balloon and continued strolling around a wonderful place.
Meanwhile, I stumbled upon a bicycle owned by one of the teenage guys in the place. I found it a cute subject to capture so I played with my mobile phone and took some snapshots with the wheels of the bicycle as my focus capturing the vivid lights behind. I love the result of the shot that created an image with vivid scenery. As I clicked some shots, the colors of the lights were changing making my imagery unique and filled with so much vibrance.
Many visitors were strolling around aside from me and I have seen how happy all the people there in all ages. Even if there were no benches there, everyone simply loved to be seated on the ground without minding about being dirty or clean. My favorite part was listening to the serenade of the teenage guys who sang in acapella with the guitar being played.
I continued strolling around as I also captured every priceless moment. I so love how the light changed from one color to another making the view so picturesque at night. Perhaps it was a night full of vibrance and it was a light in the heart to be here after work which made me relax for a while and enjoy such an amazing place in my hometown. After a moment, I was seated in a corner to capture a beautiful view of many passers-by.
Colorful, vivid, and vibrant were some of the words that could describe such a magical place in a day of my life! Perhaps Manolo Fortich is love and I truly enjoyed my time coming back here once more.
