Location
It was my first time to climb the Kiltipan Peak, where this photo was shot. Kiltipan is one of Sagada's highest points. Sagada is a fifth class municipality in the province of Mountain Province, Philippines.Time
The photo was taken at sunrise! To catch the sunrise, we have to wake-up at around 3:30 in the morning and boarded our tour van at 4:00 am. It took us a 25 minute drive on an unpaved road, uphill. Finally we reached Kiltipan's view deck and prepare for the coming of sunrise. Five in the morning the place was still dark but as your eyes gets adapted with it, there came the first peek of rays of light from the rising of the sun right before your very eye. I was so amazed with the sea of clouds that envelopes the mountains below. The colors of the sunrise mingled with the images of the mountains will take your breath away!Lighting

Just take a deep breath and enjoy the view.
