Niludhan Rainbow Falls in Dawis Town, Bayawan County, west of Dumaguete Our Visit in January 2011 |
Lourdes threatening to jump... |
...while i'm treading in the water below, yelling "NO, DON'T !!!"... |
to my incredulous fear, she goes-for-it! |
flying through the rainbow! |
safe and proud... |
where the stream goes |
on the way down |
tiny falls to the side |
across the stream -- the whole place is still unspoiled |
the name "Niludhan" means a kneeling caribao -- legend says that when caribaos walked across the top of the falls, the path was so rough they were forced to kneel -- not sure of the significance |
