Beautiful...thanks for posting Alan. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

January was unusually cool throughout Luzon. Made me laugh seeing people shivering in the (15-20C) evenings in Manila . :icon_lol:

Nice shots Alan.
Lots of hard frosts in Benguet area earlier in the year.....quite an impact on many of the smaller vegetable growers.

It's on my 'bucket list' to experience frost in Philippines and Benguet is my best chance I think...:icon_lol:
