Serene Highlands Photo

Photographer’s Note

Northern Philippines is a beautiful and diverse geography. It has beautiful beaches and houses the country's summer capital - Baguio City.

This is a photo of Baguio City's famed Camp John Hay, a former American military base that was converted into a leisure and business center. The house you see is inside John Hay's Forest Hills, an upscale residential village that hosts cabin-inspired, countryside houses such as the one you see in this photo.

While Manila is scorching hot at 29-31 degrees Celsius, this place in Baguio exudes 19-22 degrees Celsius at around 4:00 p.m. which is roughly the time of day I took this photo.

Hi JCC,
When I first saw this photo, I wasn't sure if it is an RP scene. Yes, Baguio is a lovely place to be especially during summer. It is a complete contrast to the beach scene in Boracay. The sharpness and color quality of this image is superb. Nice partial framing of the pine tree too. Excellent! tfs
Salamat,
Renier

The architecture reminds me of those that I see here in the mountain areas of the States. I can only guess the framing of the house was made of pine wood. Lovely framing, sharp, and with good colors. I am sneaking this critique at work and wishing you the best JCC - Danilo
