Magatas River




Welcome to today's post. I've been busy lately. Today's image is from the Magatas River in St Bernard, Southern Leyte. Its about 45mins from my home. Its an overcast sky but i manage to get a shot. The River is fast flowing and the local people use the fast flowing to irrigation.
I'm amaze how nature arrange the small and big rocks. Because of the fast flowing water, the stone arrangement this constantly change.
