Villa Escudero Hacienda Farm in Laguna

Album Info:
Two and a half hours south of Manila is the quaint and historic Villa Escudero; set amidst a pastoral grove of coconut palms, verdant fields and mountains to bring one back to the days of the old plantation life. Highlights of the tour are a museum of historic, religious, pre-Hispanic and World War II artifacts. Carabao-drawn carts transport picnickers to a man-made waterfalls where lunch is served on tables set over a flowing stream. Then it's off to the pools for a refreshing cool down. On weekends, a cultural show of dances and songs which incorporate the different geographical cultures in the Philippines is presented to stunned visitors. There is also man-made lake intended for a small hydroelectric power plant for the electrification needs of the plantation. Visitors can use bamboo rafts to further explore the lake.

What a beautiful shot here, Mary Ann. The viewer starts with the plant to the right because of your clever positioning. Then he'll look at the congregation around the first house to the left and to the peaceful pond from front to back. The line formed by the nipa huts leads to the verdant trees and the blue skies above. Wow!
