Bangui Windmills

Bangui Windmill, Ilocos Norte

I never get tired of seeing these northern steel structures at Bangui, Ilocos Norte. These windmills are well placed along the Pebble Beach, adding to the historic attractions of the North. Fortunately, on my second visit here, we were blessed with good weather, unlike my cloudy first visit.

Sa dulo ng bahaghari

Bangui view deck

I’m glad to be home again. It didn’t take a week before I hopped on another plane, but this time its more of a travel assignment. I didn’t expect to be back soon in our proud heritage of the north in Ilocos. Little did I know that there are a lot – and I mean a lot of off-the-beaten path destinations in this area! It was a whirlwind trip but exciting covering places and taking shots of food (then eating them after)

The photo from above is from the Bangui View Deck, Ilocos Norte. It was, I think the first time I ever saw a full (180 degrees) arc of a rainbow (bahaghari) at that time. I would have taken a photo of the whole thing but it was just huge!

And I got a kick at Smart’s unlimited mobile GPRS. It’s 10 pesos unlimited kilobytes for 30 minutes was helpful in accessing important mails and some websites from the net on my reliable old mobile while on the move.

Anyways, gotta rest. Will be posting lotsa stuff soon. Now I wanna sleep…

Megastructures of the north

Bangui Windmills

The Windmills of Bangui, 15 of these structures stand on the Pebble Beach. (The orange speck on the right is a bulldozer, so imagine the height of this structure)

This would be the last entry for Northern Luzon adventure and would be a perfect climax for the series. When going to Pagudpod, you’ll never miss these spectacular windmills left-side of your view. It’s one of the most amazing view you’ll see up there on the north. When at the beach of Pagudpud you’ll still be able to see these afar.

Cape Bojeador Lighthouse

Cape Bojeador Lighthouse stands in Burgos, said to be the tallest lighthouse in the country.

On your right (coming from the south), amidst the mountain terrain, you’ll see the towering structure of Cape Bojeador Lighthouse in Burgos. Both mega structures, the former a new construction, and the later a true historical monument.
