Views from Mountain View

Our SFC chapter held an activity last weekend in Mountain View Resort. It is located in a mountain barangay and provides scenic views of the cities of Cebu, Mandaue and Lapu-lapu.

As Lady Luck would have it, I had a minor accident as soon as I arrived in the venue. I had some wounds close to my left eye. I use my left eye in peering through my view finder. Nevertheless, I was able to take a considerable number of pictures. And since I did not sleep, I was also able to monitor the progression of the early morning light... (Heavens also sent doctors. They rushed to my side a few minutes after the accident and provided first aid... Unfortunately, I was not able to get their names. To them, I am grateful...)

So here are the views...

An afternoon view of downtown Cebu, with the port and the island of Mactan...



Southeastern part of Cebu, with the tail-end of Mactan Island...



The sun was starting to go down... Mandaue and Lapu-lapu views, with the Hilton building in the distance...



The night has fallen, and the city lights had become alive... Mandaue and Lapu-lapu, with the Old Bridge...



Another look at the Cebu Port...



The moon has risen... This is the last picture I took before my friends brought me to the hospital to have my wounds further assessed.



When I came back from the hospital, I did not feel sleepy and decided to wait for the sunrise... An early morning shot, just when the sky was starting to show some orange tints...



I tinkered with my camera's white balance and did some spot metering on the orange tints. And here are the results...

This is mainly Mandaue...



Still Mandaue and Lapu-lapu views, with the Hilton building in the distance...



A vertical shot of the same scene above...



So that's it... I hope you enjoyed the pics... :)
