Nice shots. Passed through this area a couple times before, but never got to go down and take a better look. This is mahogany, right? When did they start planting this forest?
Hi Fred, Yes, trees are mahoganis and here’s my research about this magnificent forest.
The plan to reforest took seed under then governor Conrado Marapao in 1947 and was molded stronger by then governor Jacinto Borja who found it necessary to rationalize the reforestation program for the mountain areas in Bohol , including, of course this portion. Streaks of sunlight create interesting shafts of lazer like lights drawing a kaleidoscope of patterns on the zooming windshield as trees whiz by the van’s tinted windows. Then governor Jacinto Pajo in 1958 carried the seedlings of what would later be called the Loboc Watershed Reforestation Project (LWRP) (Source:http://www.discoverbohol.com)
The top photo is breathtaking! The lighting and the composition is perfect.
I also have a shot of this area. This is really such a scenic route to Chocolate hills.
such a beautiful place!
Was there before …. I super love the place.
It’s beautiful yet could imagine scary thoughts. This looked exactly the same road we took in Cebu and got lost. >_<
What a great shot . 😀
Thanks Arjay 🙂
