Philippines, Vicki visits places outside ceramic studios


Truly breathtaking and magical vistas enfold before my eyes in Northern Philippines.



Undulating rice terraces have been cultivated for centuries, captivating lucky viewers. 



Around any bend may bring a surprise appearance. 






I never tire of rice blowing in the wind against a blue sky.


Gathered rice bundles are works of artistic beauty.


Even in the rainy season, blue skies appear.


The hanging coffins near Sagada town are enthralling. 





In Kalinga province, early morning fog enshrouds the distant mountains.



A calm besets isolated villages in Kalinga Province. 


A six-hour boat ride brings one to the remote and untouristed island of Calayan, 
where electric power functions only half the day.



Catamaran boats make the journey to the mainland and back.


They set off at daybreak, barring any typhoon conditions. 


Vigan, is an old Spanish colonial town, with empanadas a mainstay.

And the cobblestone streets a charming setting for a pre-wedding stroll.
