Something totally different for a change…

This one was taken at Costabella Beach Resort on Mactan Island more than 8 years ago! In a distance we can see the Northern part of Olango Island, known for the wildlife Sanctuary… Twice a year OIWS serves as refuge to thousands of migratory birds travelling the East Asian Migratory Flyway which is regarded as one of the most important shorebird and waterbird migratory flyways in the world.

Mactan Island however serves as refuge to thousands of Asian tourists, coming from Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan… and an odd long distance flyer like me! Here we mingle with the better-off Filipinos from Cebu City and Manila, in an international melting pot very similar to the counterparts in Europe and North America… Well, personally I prefer a backpacker’s paradise like Moalboal when in Cebu, but of course I too had to try the facilities on Mactan once or twice…

A nice place, don’t you think so too? A tropical paradise for sure… It is memories like this that keep me going through the harsh winter in my place…

i really like the way you promote our country, Pabs. actually, there are a lot of world class beach resorts here like the ones in Boracay, Bohol and Palawan. hope to see some pics or some nice words from there too if you've ever been to those places. :) Ron

well composed, Pablo and oooohhh yesss, truely excotic and paradisiac, thanx, Magda (*_*)

Wonderful view, nice and pleasant shot.
Maybe a bit overexposed in foreground, but good composed. Palm branch add a some 3D-like effect.
Well done!

Malik & Mary.

Good use of the chairs to draw your eye in and the palm trees to frame it at the top.

Regards,

Tom

Hi Pablo, This is a great spot to visit. Close to Cebu city but a bit cleaner and wonderful views. You have captured the slow warm ambience well with this Photo. Makes me want to return before too long. Well done.

Hi my friend Pablo!

Very beautiful and sunny photo!
I like the palms!
I want to be there (not in school).

Hi Pablo!
I've returned to you Philipines series, because they are so in tune with the summer mood on the Northrn hemisphere. Isn't it wonderful to have the white sand beneath your feet, the blue horizon in front of your eyer, the palm leaves above your had - exactly as it is on your shot?
Best regards,
Anton

Beautiful image with a very informative commentary note. But light reflection from the earth is little too high. I beleive it must be close to noon shot, is it?

Thanks you very much for another wonderful addition on TL.

Hi pablo,

nice pov my friend.
Well done

Hallo Pablo,
ein urlaub Paradies, herrlich, der wunderschöne weißer Sand und als Kontrast das blaue Meer und der Schatten von den Palmen, das lädt zum Erholen ein.
Ein super Bild das mir sehr gefällt.
Gratuliere.
Schöne Grüsse

Hello Pablo
Chairs and palm tree compose an inviting setup for relaxation in the shade with a view on naval activities.
That's my kind of a beach!
Best regards.
