Ten minutes after sunrise; central Bohol Island in the southern Philippines. The area is famous for so called 'Chocolate hills; an unusual formation that consists of over 1,000 dome hills spread over 50 square kilometres. The dawn rays flickered through the thick foliage to create this pretty light show in the early morning mist.

This week’s #FriFotos theme is CHOCOLATE, so we thought we’d throw a curveball by choosing a photo of the so-called “Chocolate Hills” in Bohol province, Philippines. The green grass that covers these famous mounds turns brown in the dry season, calling to mind a chocolate candy land. We’d take a visit to these hills (there are more than 1,000 in a 20 square mile area) over a sundae any day.

    Great picture. It is incredible how something as simple as the differences in location on Earth can yield such different environments. You cannot have every type of terrain in one place. This makes traveling so interesting. Personally, my favorite type is mountains, with or without snow. What is your favorite terrain?
