Bucao River
Bucao River is one of the rivers in my home province.
My other entry gives emphasis on the side of this bridge that brings me closer to our family home, where my parents and brother live.
Bucao River flows from Mount Pinatubo, a volcano that erupted in the early 1990s after being dormant for almost 500 years. Its ash fall reach other South East Asian countries.
Anyway…
When we went home last Sunday to celebrate my father’s birthday, I asked my husband to stop so that I could take photos of the river and of the bridge on the other side.
The bridge in the foreground is newer because the bridge before that was destroyed by lahar flow.
Years ago, I have managed to cross it on foot before because the buses that ply the route can not go across the bridges. One time when we crossed the wooden foot bridge, the water current was strong and I was very frightened and I felt a bit nauseous.
But I was young then and I knew I could conquer my fears. And I did.

I have been to Zambales once and I wished I had visited more times. Anyway,the river looks dangerously high from this angle. It must have been raining heavily.
Happy weekend.
Great post and shot Julie. I hope you have a happy weekend.
Great shot. I can ionly imagine the destruction that Mt Pinatubo wreaked. Happy weekend
Very interesting.
It`s a good thing to conquer fear 🙂 Great bridgepost 🙂

Either that’s a low bridge or that water is very high! Doesn’t seem to be much room for rising levels. Nice post and happy weekend!
WOW… what an incredible bridge… with a strong current.. I know I would be afraid as well to cross!! Nice photo.

Interesting story and a very good shot.
Have a great weekend.
good perspective bridges are such a good subject they connect people and places
Does the water ever rise over the bridge? It looks awfully close.
Great shot!
Good shot. Have a nice weekend.
The scenery that accompanies the bridges makes for a splendid photo! 🙂 Incredible entry!
