Sunset at Sunken Cemetery
 |
|
| [Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Lying 20 feet underwater in Barrio Bonbon, Catarman lies the sunken cemetery, the remains of a volcanic eruption. Coral encrusted tombstones can still be explored by snorkellers and scuba divers. A huge cross marker has been installed by the Provincial government to mark the community cemetery which sunk during the 1871 volcanic eruption. A fluvial procession usually organized by the townfolk of Barangay Bonbon is held to honor the sunken graves of their forefathers on the month of November. Islanders bring flowers and candles as an offering to those who once were buried there. Years ago, gravestones were visible during low tide. For those who want to take a closer look, there are bancas that can be rented to take you to the site of the cross. Today, it is an interesting diving site.

Good wide angle scene
problem area
capturing the sea/ocean, the result always comes a bit tilt dont know y. as u can see in ur picture too its a bit tilt towards left. so for the next time keep this in mind rotate it little bit before uploading. for now im giving 1 point.
Thanks for sharing
