[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Snake Island
Honda Bay, Puerto Princesa, Palawan


The island was named Snake island because of its natural sandspit (s-shaped) sandbar that “snakes” off for almost a kilometer. You can clearly see the island's shape as the plane approaches the Puerto Princesa airport if you are sitting on the starboard side.

Its also a marine research outpost (and a fish sanctuary). You can feed fish with bread even at waist deep waters, they are very friendly and are used to humans.

You can see from the colors of the water that its very deep within just a few meters from the shore. We saw a large school of jacks (thousands of them) around this area. The guides in the island will gladly lead you to your "choice" of fish to see: from jacks, to surgeon fish, to "Nemos" (clown fishes) :D.

You won't need serious diving gears. All you'll need are your flippers, your mask, and several pieces of bread. The fishes will come to you, except for the jacks. They just go around and around in a imaginary circle. We had fun "following" them that day.

Hi!
Lovely place, makes me go into holiday mood immediately, while the wind and snow is roaring outside in the dark here..
Really not much to say about such a perfect picture.
The composition is of course very good, I like also the sky. Those thin cirrus clouds and that cumulus adds a lot interest to the picture.
TFS!
Best regards
Jon.

Hi dear friend,
looks like in a fairy tale... Amazing blue tones! I love the mood in this one and the framing, the unusual "outframed" subject.
Best wishes,
Ioana
