Mount Apo Peak - a photo on Flickriver

Mount Apo Peak

Before I booked for a flight, I had my reservations scheduling my flight back to Manila from Davao, because it meant harder to get a taxicab going home, ergo, going home late. The 4:40 PM flight is notorious for its late departure (sometimes extending up to 7PM). I was supposed to be booked at 6:00 PM flight, but I settled for for the 4:40 PM because I wanted to catch the Indios last day of exhibit. When I checked in, I chose the window seat because of a "project" I wanted to put up in my stream. When I boarded, I was surprised to see an old woman sitting on my assigned seat. But then, I gave in so I sat next to her instead. I still had a good view, after all. All I wanted was to shoot the sunset while on flight.

It was after one or two minutes after take off when I saw this spectacular view of the highest peak in the Philippines.

I think I was rewarded for being kind to the old woman who also wanted to take a look at the aerial view!
