Testing the Clark-Subic Expressway

[mantarey]

Went to Subic last Good Friday through the newly opened Clark-Subic Expressway. I was shooting inside the car, putting the cam on top of the car to get a good shot of the scenery. I think this is the best designed highway ever constructed in the country so far. The roads are so smooth and the scenery is just great.

Wow... lovely colors, the hint of motion in the blurs adds much to the captures. Great shots, Rey, these are not as easy to pull off as it seems!

That's true Ka Romy, took a lot of shots just to get a few keepers though nowhere near as difficult as with the birdie shots of course. Thanks a lot.

I agree with the Ka Mastah - these are really great shots! :-)

Thank you Sir Bobby.

Yes. I took that same road going to Limay last Fri then back Saturday. Wife and I both felt we weren't in the Philippines. That's both good and sad.

Normally, I'd drive far too fast on an open road like this. But I decided to stay between 100-110kph and it was such a pleasant experience.

From the San Fernando exit to Dinalupihan, though, the new route is twice as long as the old route (via the Lubao, Floridablanca, etc. route). But I think I got to my destination faster. Even if I didn't, at least, I was more relaxed.

You surely did arrive early Ding. Travel time in the SCTex is an average of 35 minutes which you can cut down to 25 minutes if you want. The old route with all the slow tricycles in the highway will take you at least an hour, if you don't encounter them a lot.
