Tree of Life

One night, one of my patient has drawn a tree and entitled it "Tree of Life". I guess it was something that represents his hope as everything else is saying otherwise. I decided to name this photo next to his. As that patient, this tree whispers hope, wisdom, and a whole lot of stories to tell.. If only, we take some time to listen. We might learn something from them.

A Beautiful World

La, la, la, la, la. It's a beautiful world.. We're all here.
Strawberry lips shining in the summer sun.
Canary tips glowing there for everyone.
You fell asleep under the cherry tree.

Your winter skin warming in the summer sun.
You know within you will stay forever young.

You fell asleep under the starlit sea.
It's time to wake up.
The moon is high above you.
We're all here cause we love you.
And when you finally open your eyes and ears,
you'll see and you'll hear us sing.

A View from Afar

A very expressive sunset one winter afternoon. That whichever focus you set your eyes into, they could only speak a thousand words.

Taken in the park close to Circlebrook Drive, Yorkton. Sorry, I didn't get the name. Exposure of 1/125 with very minimal adjustment during post-processed.

Sunset Glow

A beautiful sunset in York Lake, Saskatchewan last fall.

Sunset of Yesterday

One of the last few sunset before this lake turned into ice.

Pink Sunset

Offering you pink sunset for a change. =)

It was unintentional, but when I post-processed it, it came out this way. A scenery of such beautiful horizon.

Sailing

A typical view in every small provinces in the Philippines, after a whole day of sailing, fishermen are now ready to succumb to ending the day with their family. A simple and yet complete life. I miss this!!! =)

Saskatchewan Skyline

When God created the world, He just didn't form it, instead He painted it with beautiful colors and details. Oftentimes, we get so used to it, but every once in a while it pays off to appreciate it, then we realized we are fearfully and wonderfully made as well. =D

The Afterglow

An afterglow is a broad high arch of whitish or rosy light appearing in the sky due to very fine particles of dust suspended in the high regions of the atmosphere. An afterglow may appear above the highest clouds in the hour of deepening twilight, or reflected from the high snowfields in mountain regions long after sunset. The particles produce a scattering effect upon the component parts of white light.

Taken in York Lake, Saskatchewan. This might be one of the few shots that I have left for Fall season as it is now beginning to get freezy getting ready for winter.

Saskatchewan's Sunset

Taken in York Lake Yorkton, Saskatchewan. Don't you just wish you were here to witnessed this for yourself? A very hopeful moment at the most down side of the day, the Saskatchewan sunset. It's not really my first time to capture Canada's sunset, however, this became a meaningful one representing the stage I am in in my life.. Optimistic amidst life's storm.. Nobody could break me, for even in life's darkness, there is always and always something that keeps me together. And I am pertaining to that One GOD that holds every detail of my life in His hand. :)

The Colors of Quietude

This is another photo I took of the sun setting in at Sisiman Bay, Bataan. I finally achieved the effect that I have been wanting to see with my seascape. Using an ND400 with 25 seconds exposure. My long travel has paid off. Truly, sunset is one of the setting I would never get tired of putting on frame. =)

Ang Huling Takipsilim

Ang Huling Takipsilim, taken in Sisiman Bay, Mariveles, Bataan. Dedicated to the last Philippine sunset I had captured from my trip back home this 2010. Having to work in a foreign land where snow is imminent more than any sunshine ever could, this is surely one of the moment I would miss seeing and capturing. Till we meet again.. :)

I See Better Days.. :)

I'm setting this sunset photo apart from the ones I posted earlier. More than tranquility, this picture offers hope for a brighter tomorrow. The bright blue sky against the raging sun before it succumbs to hide below the horizon plays a perfect ending to a tiring but meaningful day. A promise of better days to come. :)

Photo taken in Bridge II (that's what our tour guide calls it.hehe) in Bohol after a very tiring day. Glad we stopped at this place to capture this magnificent hand of God at work. :)

Sunset Skyline

Taken in Tagbilaran City, Bohol. This photo encompasses the beauty of sunset in the Philippines. The intense red and orange hues of the sky are caused by scattering of sunlight by air molecules and small particles in the Earth's atmosphere. This being vividly reflected in the body of water below it gives the ocean more depth and mystery.

Serenity

What's the beauty in sunset? It's the serenity that lies in darkness.

Photo taken in Tagbilaran City, Bohol.

Being so frustrated with how our Cebu-Bohol trip was going, having all the tricycle and taxi drivers wanting to overcharge us. We end up spending our first afternoon in Bohol eating banana-que with coke while having our own city stroll. It wasn't too bad after all because our feet lead us to this spot where sunset is very imminent and perfect for shooting. This place then became my favorite spot in Bohol.. a.k.a "Ang lugar na binabalik-balikan." :)

Taken with a GND filter, with 25th of a second exposure, ISO 100.
