This is not in Metro Manila. Again. One of my husband's cousins got married in
Tagaytay City in the province of
Cavite yesterday afternoon and the house that the bride and groom rented for the reception has a magnificent view of
Taal Lake and
Taal Volcano. Taal Lake is the third largest lake in the Philippines and is located in the province of
Batangas. It has several islands and the biggest is where the still-active Taal Volcano is. The reception was supposed to be outdoors so guests could enjoy the view but it rained the whole afternoon, shrouding the entire lake and ruining their original plan. It was bright and sunny when I took this photo this morning, but the dark clouds beginning to form signaled yet another wet afternoon.
The reception was eventually held in the living room of the house. Even on cloudy days, wouldn't you just love to have a view like this from your home? I know I would!
Urban or rural, natural or man-made, take a sightseeing tour of our world's diverse scenery!
Yes I'm envious here, what a fantastic view!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to know about so happy moment !

ReplyDeleteHIlda: Breathtaking and the furniture enhances, as opposed to detracting! You seem like a nice person, the kind of person who sees this type of view in everything put before you. Or, as we say, a person who sees a glass as being half full!!!
ReplyDeleteStunning view even with a cloudy sky.
ReplyDeleteWow, Hilda, absolutely stunning. How lucky to visit a place like this! Have a nice week. Ciao. A.

ReplyDeleteWow! Now that is a view. Even though it rained during the reception, I'm sure everyone had a spectacular time. It probably felt like being on a cloud when you looked through the windows.
ReplyDeleteStunning views, but too bad for the bride not being able to have it outdoors as planned.
