This photo was taken from Mangatarem, Pangasinan, the southernmost town in our province. I love the countryside view in this angle. As much as I love the countryside view in the area, it is annoying to see the mountains surrounding it. They were getting bald due to deforestation. People has been burning the trees for charcoal, though, they claim they are reforesting. Well, it's rainy season. We cannot say, but flashfloods can occur.

thank you for sharing the view. i love seeing life in other parts of our country. deforestation and flashfloods is indeed a concern, as well as urbanization.

@ipas83 if only trees grew as fast, but the reality is they take years

@hereandthere You are right. Even the rain can break them if they were young.

@ipas83 I say they should leave those mountains alone, they are so beautiful, naturally:)
