“Don’t confuse your path with your destination! Just because it’s stormy now doesn’t mean that you aren’t headed for sunshine.” – unknown
In mid October 2016, when I went back to the Philippines, I experienced a very strong typhoon. My family and I went to Ilocos, and we smashed right into cyclone “Typhoon Karen”. We stayed in our hotel room for 2 days and could not do anything else. But on the third day, when we woke up, our MORNING was greeted by this beautiful sunshine.
This is for Ann Christine’s Lens-Artists Photo Challenge.
This was when the cyclone was at its fiercest.

Beautiful photos. Well done.

Haha we were in quarantine already during that time. But seriously, yes, that morning sun was a big surprise to us because we thought we may go home without enjoying the place. Thanks for the comment Amy.
