Beside his home is the BenCab Museum, a repository of the artist's varied collections, with one floor dedicated to exhibiting contemporary art by emerging Filipino artists.
BenCab's house and museum are located on the slopes of a ridge, at the bottom of which is a rocky stream, which he has harnessed to naturally water his garden and organic farm, and even to create a pond. Benguet's elevation, the stream and the ridge collude to create a perpetual fog in the area, and the sound of running water is the perfect background for an artist creating and a mortal appreciating.
de magnifiques paysages sous la brume, surtout la deniere qui est sublime avec ce petit pont
ReplyDeletei've always wanted BenCab's gallery in Baguio. but when i'm n Baguio, i just sleep, read n bed and sleep again. *LOL*

What an amazing place. I would love to visit there. And your photos are superb! The fog is so mysterious...
ReplyDeletebeen reading about this place from many diff bloggers. a must see eh?
ReplyDeleteI want a yard like this one! :-) It's so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteI like your moody shots, Hilda, but if the fog/clooud was any thicker, you'd not see a thing... like the last time I drove up to Banaue! My mother never did get to see any rice terraces.
