The local government here cut almost all of the trees on the sides of this road
It was raining a bit in the early morning yesterday so when we head to the dialysis clinic the sky was still all grey and sad which is why I didn't take photos of the landscape areas which I was always taking photos with (because I have no more options) and decided to take photos when we get back home hoping that the sky will clear-out once my treatment session is done, well if the weather would turn-out to be better.
To my delight, I was greeted with a better-looking skies so I just took out my Vivo X200 Pro from my pocket and took shots from my not so vantage point on my seat in the car as we pass along this side of the road at this usual place. I really like the view past where the felled trees once stood which is why I always post it here. There aren't any place around where I can do similar with these places because of my current limitations and it will not be that practical if we will go places just to do some photoshoot, so you have to just bear with me.
I decided to use the filter of the Landscape mode which is called "orange green" so that it will make the resulting photo interesting to look at because after all the goal is to make a beautiful photo, and with my type of camera phot I am not disappointed. This photo is best appreciated with a phone or computer with a better display or any other images for that matter because I really liked what happened as you can see.
Anyway, in the foreground of the first photo, you can see some fresh dirt piled on the left side. It is because a new drainage system is being constructed on both sides of the road, some dirt are excavated and then they are putting these prefabricated concrete canal which rain water will supposedly catch if it rains. They actually cut many trees along this road which saddened me a lot because I really wanted the trees to cover the road with the shade of their branches, leaves, and plus beautiful flowers that some trees and fruiting trees develops.
However, the local government decided to make a drainage system which in my opinion is useless particularly in this area simply because there are lower parts in this area like you see in some of the photos that the extra rain water will go if it rains and so, excavating an extra drainage on both sides of the road will not do any difference and will just in effect add a little space where rain water will go but will just pass by it and drain into the marsh. This area is indeed a very low part of our province and what the provincial government should do is to elevate the road rather than a drainage system which will just be useless at least for the time being, but I guess that they know wat they are doing.
I only hope now that the city's local government will plant trees again in that area but considering that they also had put electric poles over there as well, I am not very optimistic that those said trees will ever flourish and grow like normal because definitely they will trim them over and over again so as not to cause future problems with the power lines. They had cut some great hardwood trees and that fire tree that makes awesomely bright reddish yellow flowers, that tree got cut as well and I am just frustratingly furious inside but I am helpless to do anything, so I can only look and then pray.
That area is also developing because businesses are being built slowly on the roadsides and soon enough, all of the road sides will get dotted with businesses which will definitely block my view of these landscapes. I just miss looking at those fresh water birds with sometimes chicks walking on those marsh areas near the corner of the road leading to my dialysis clinic. It is because a big hardware shop with some series of shops had been developed over there a few years ago and that spot of the home of these birds got wiped-out. I told myself that I want to take a photo of them one day but that day never came, it was too late already.
So, this is just a short story of this road, maybe the construction of the drainage system there was also in the plan, this road never existed before and it is just a relatively recent construction although it is there more than twenty years already and was added just to ease some traffic from accessing the town that my dialysis clinic and the other towns after it up to the coastal towns.

Yes I agree but In the case of this area it might not be because the water table is high which means that if you shovel a few feet of dirt, the water will well-out. The problem is always flooding while om mountainous areas there are always landslides because the trees that once made the earth stable will collapse like what happened near the birth town of my mother in their province, it inundated most of the properties there because landslides linked to bald forests after the rain which brought by a mild Typhoon.
