Sunrise + Beach = Heaven. The Comboboys (more on this on future post) woke-up early to catch a glimpse of the beautiful sunrise in Cagbalete. Having been disappointed by the sudden turn of the weather that prevented us from witnessing the sunset the night before, we deemed it a must to wait for this sunrise since this is the lone chance we have on this overnight trip.Although this is our second day to the island, I deemed it proper to start the series with a sunrise. After all, sunrise connotes beginning, start or first. And this trip is a beginning of lot of things. This is my first time in the island and first time to be joined by Kit and Manny. This is also the first time that we were mistaken as a rock band. Of course, this ain't the first time I traveled with my best bud Dong Ho and we even kid around that whenever we travel, the rain seem to follow us.
This is the start of my series in Quezon than features Cagbalete Island and Pagbilao Beach. Dong Ho posted a very good account of how we got there here, so check it out. For now, let me leave you with some of the photos I have taken as the morning breaks.
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird
Praise for the springing fresh from the word
Like the first dewfall, on the first grass
Sprung in completeness where his feet pass
Born of the one light, Eden saw play
God's recreation of the new day
Song lyrics from Cat Steven's Morning Has Broken.
More of Cagbalete on my next posts.

Awesome sunrise... in fact the clouds add something to the sunrise...maybe because you better see the sun rays.
In any case this are special moments well captured.

summer...beach...whoa!i just wanna go home!
Wow. The sunrise is truly amazing and your composition with the branches are great. Can't wait to see the rest of the series.
Are you making me jealous? Because I am, i really am. Inggit ako sa pics na to, dahil alam ko na napuntahan mo, whilst i am gonna stay with summer most probably vacation-less.
hati ako sa isyung ano mas maganda sunset o sunrise?
hindi talaga ako makapagdecide
pero based sa mga pix mo, sunrise muna ako
hehe

ingats palagi kuya!
Your photos are so surreal. Are they enhanced or photoshopped or something?
LS: What a very creative sunrise with the cool lyrics. I got something similar that I will show later today. The big exception is that you had the ocean to capture. That was a beautiful sunrise my friend.
Napakaganda naman ng simula ng araw ko pag ganyan ang makikita ko. Ang ganda ng mga kuha mo lalo na yung may mga sanga ng puno. Ayos to.
one of my favorite songs...
