The Nearest Chocolate Hill Photo

Photographer’s Note

If you will look for a photo of the Chocolate Hills in Bohol, chances are you'll find one showing this hill. It's only one of the hundreds of hills and it's not necessarily the best looking one. It's because it is near the viewing point which is on top of another hill located in Carmen. From that point you can see hills with rounded top in all directions extending up to the horizon as you can see in this photo. What's so strange about the hills aside from their shape is that most of them have no trees planted but only grasses. That's why during summer the hills become chocolate brown and green during other times of the year.

Hi Rey,

I hardly see any pictures of the Phillipines on TE, while there are so many scenic places., like the famous chocolate hills of Bohol/
Very well captured and framed with flowers.

Thanks and regards, Gerrit

Hi Rey,
Great sky to enhance those amazing phenomenons of nature! Nice composition where you show us one in detail and the rest in a distance to give an idea about the number... However, I have yet to see an explanation to how they were created in the first place...
Regards,
