[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Ooops! I meant to post this at TE.

This is the fishing village of Guiuan in southeastern Samar, a province in the Visayan region of the Philippines. Not much tourists come to this place because it is located within the typhoon belt of the country. I have the impression that the local and national governments do not do much to promote tourism in the area. But there are many beautiful isolated beaches as well as small islands around this fishing village. I spent several days here and trekked the surroundings with a rented motorcycle. Accommodation is cheap, and fresh seafood is abundant.

This was shot at the town’s pier which offers a view of local fishermen in a boat. At the background are fishermen’s houses on stilts.

This is beautiful Danny. It is well composed, simple and with a theme. I like also the color which suggest tranquility.
As observed by Valentina, this photo is a break, a welcome one, from your flower collections. Share us some more of these photos Danny. Good work mate!

Encontraste todos los azules del mundo y nos los trajiste. Gracias. Una preciosa composición. Como salen personas y trabajando, alguien te sugerirá que la pongas en blanco y nego; no le hagas caso.

Enric.

Hi danilo,
This is a refreshment.
The cool blue colurs magnify the beauty of your POV. A train of clouds and their reflections in the blue-what more is required on a Sunday morning?
Very well done.

Hi Danilo,
And behind is the Pacific...
Awesome shades of blue, but most of all it is a fine composition and what more, the photograph is telling a story... Always a good quality in an image!
Almost hard to believe this is Philippines, the sky looks like taken from a far more northern location...
Greetings,

Hi Danilo!
You rocked it, man! Tremendous quality, composition as it should be. The blue is everywhere, I like that.

Beautiful Rhapsody in Blue--the shining blue of the sea, the cloudy blue of the sky. Excellent compo and colors.

TFS,

Andreea

What a peaceful and lovely sight.

Congratulations Danny for your new toy :-) I saw that kind here last March with some balikbayan. Today, the D700 is in the market.

Another sponsor for my lens occurred yesterday, a rich Indian woman who have a company here in the Philippines. She even offered me a job in the Middle East. I said, I plan to sell some of my works, she said she'll gonna help me to achieve it. She is a new member on my other photo site. She is base in India. God is great Danny.

Thank you very much.
Dennis
