At last, this week’s photo challenge came because I have been waiting for that time this favorite photo of mine surfaces again. There’s no better image that could perfectly define the word PEACEFUL than the photo of Lake Buhi below.
“If there’s one thing I couldn’t forget about the place, it would be its halcyon environs that can instantly calm one’s spirit. The serene waters unfolded my soul to some kind of magic” (The Halcyon Lake Buhi in Camarines Sur).
This post is my way of joining the bandwagon for the latest tourism campaign of my country (IT’S MORE FUN IN THE PHILIPPINES). I am proud to say that with such a peaceful place like Lake Buhi, it is beyond question more fun in my country than anywhere else.

Safe to say, I made the right choice for the challenge. I actually hesitated to use that photo again considering the fact that it was already a part of the post, Philippines’ Lake Buhi”, not to mention using it as a featured image for that widget as part of the Philippine Mountains and Adventure Spots.
