A photoshop trick

I was looking at one of my picture i took during my trip to ilocos and tried to make something out of it. While checking it on photoshop I saw that the histogram tells that there are no clipped shadows or highlights (Those excess graph on the left most or right most), which means that i can just use the levels to brighten it up a little. So sitting on it for a few minutes and after adding some more layers, I got this.
