    Again, just beautiful! The green rocks really "ground" the softness of the waves. Wish I could be there watching the ocean :D

    The green on those rocks in the second photo is incredible. My 17-40L keeps whispering - go ahead, try a 5DII out, then we can take photos like that! Nice work!

    This is the famous falls where 2 people were killed in a freak accident. Apparently, a flash flood came and in a matter of minutes the water level went high.

    When we got there are no people at all. It just rained so probably the locals and visitors got scared that another flash flood can occur. But still I was amazed with the clear water and its natural beauty.

    15524779-Ti.gif Stunning is the right word! It's so hard to believe that such a serene place could cause some sudden danger. But I just love the soft water (of course! Your specialty :D ) and the two leaves the foreground.

    thanks schmoo appreciate it a lot. You know what, I was scared also and made sure that any sign of danger we will all bolt! Good thing there is a guide, by the way FYI the 2 bodies were found dead a couple of days later! really sad, Nature is an amazing thing!

    This is part of Panglao beach where we almost got "scared" to death.:bigeyes: On the lighter side I've never seen Mangroves up close and this made me love these plants more. If you would notice the left part is a bit thicker than the right side. It's because locals continuously plant them to increase its number in Bohol.:)

    Before going to the Sunset Mangroves' location this is where we got first. Unfortunately, there were no strong waves that time and foreground is scarce. We just have to make the most out it. Coral stones and patches of Land were visible so I used that as subjects. Converted most of the shots here to Mono.

    Our first sunset in Bohol! Man, we had a hard time looking for these Mangroves transferring from one location to the other! Literally it was Chasing the light! haha It was low tide that time so we were able to walk near the Mangroves (different from the earlier Panglao Mangroves). Sunset/Magic Hour for me is really surreal. This one certainly brings back memories of her...

    Our first sunrise in Valencia. We were there around 430am to do an ocular of the place. As soon as the first hint of light touched the ocean we went down and started shooting. This scene just got my attention and the waves are just crashing at Lem's feet. I know it would look crazy after wards!

    The Church of San Pedro in Loboc, Bohol is the second oldest church in Bohol. It was originally built in 1602, but soon reduced to ashes. In 1638, a stronger one was build. Located near the river, it has survived a number of floods. Inside the church, you can admire some remarkable naive paintings on the ceiling. - http://www.bohol-philippines.com/loboc-church.html
