altered landscape

altered-landscapea perceptible threat to the forest of samar, ’slash and burn’ farming practice.  cutting down and burning a million-worth of trees and other species in exchange for an uncertain income from farming rootcrops and what not…  this is evident when you pass through the road from buray to borongan.

this is just one of the causes of  loss of our forest cover which results to flooding, soil erosion, loss of habitats for wildlife species and a host of other environment problems. 

made this image in an interior place called sitio bagong barrio.  the image exif /data showed that i took this photo in june 3 2003, using canon powershot g2, a point and shoot cam!  yes, one among my 200gb stock photos.

i recently went home to calbayog riding alone my motorcycle. brought along of course my camera and placed it inside the motorcycle’s u-box.  as i passed along barangay burabod at around 6:00 in the afternoon, i wasn’t able to help myself but to stop and unpack my eos5dmk2 as i have to capture this scenery.  beautiful play of magical colors in this place is just an ordinary thing to the community until i showed them (bystanders) my takes thru the camera’s 3-inch lcd screen, they were astonished with what they saw…
