PROLOGUE: A 2 hours flight from Manila, Sarangani Peninsula lies in lower basin of Mindanao island.It has been a while since I did some serious landscape shoot. Finally a chance to be alone with the sea.
More than a year has past since I last visited this place, with more than 3,000 kms of coastal area facing the mighty Celebes sea. My last visit has enabled me to capture memorable landscapes that have given me awards and recognitions. Truly this revisit is special.
A 45 minutes travel from Gensan, I set out to capture hopefully, enduring and timeless landscapes.
Blessed with a golden light and mighty winds with crashing waves, it was a perfect scene.
These are my takes on my first day in this landscape utopia. Please see latest uploads.
"THREE KINGS"
Many versions of a mangrove tree silhouetting in a glorious sunset have been captured...this is my own version, with almost 2 minute exposure in fleeting light.
SEASCAPES #2 - WHEN TIME FLIES
Lacanau, Aquitaine, France
I took this photo on a day where the light was not good for some dramatic skies etc. To get this effect I used a long exposure time and moved the camera from left to the right horizontally. To get some stones on the exposure I first did not move the camera for a few seconds ... so they would be visible in the final image.

SANCTUARY
With the onset of the winter season the sports anglers change focus to lower Fraser tributaries like the Vedder/Chilliwack river to search for the prized winter steelhead. For many anglers, catching a steelhead is an ultimate dream, wether catching it on a fly, bait casting, spinner or centerpin is an incredible experience. These fish are classic and highly respected throughout the sport, It is the hardest fish to catch in the world, fishing or steelhead is not for everyone. You have to brave the cold and damp winter weather, spending hours in the cold, chilly weather, you have to wear layers to beat the freezing temperature, Steelhead fishing is not best-known as quantity fishery but it is absolutely renowned as a `must-try`one. I dedicate this to the strong willed sports anglers of the river of BC.
A day at the river with my fishing buddies & fellow photographers, thanks for a great day at the river,
The Dolomites are a landscape photographer’s dream—a natural playground where dramatic geology meets dynamic light. Towering limestone spires, deep valleys, reflective alpine lakes, and ever-shifting weather patterns offer a perfect blend of technical challenge and creative inspiration.

Mono Lake on Christmas Eve
I walked over to the next spot and started composing a shot. It was getting dark fast, which means it was getting cold fast too.
The water was calm though, and I was able to capture the scene with clear reflections. Of course, they were not complete mirror like reflections. But the contrast against the rough texture of the rocks was quite pleasing.
Once I got a couple of shots that I wanted, I got up and started walking over to the next spot.
Mono Lake, CA
Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain, Europe. Nice late afternoon light on this water fountain close to the Cathedral in Tarragona.

Without rain nothing grows, learn to embrace the storm of your life.
"This is my wish for you: comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunset to warm your heart, hugs when spirit sags, beauty for your eyes to see, friendship to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, Love to complete your life. - Ralph Waldo Emerson
There’s something magical about sunsets—the way they paint the sky with hues of gold, crimson, and indigo, turning the ordinary into something extraordinary.

Took a quick snowshoeing trip overlooking Donner Lake last Friday. I shot these few snaps at the top up by the old train trestles. It was a perfect afternoon and I'm ready to hit the fresh mountain snow again after the next storm.
I did minimal sliding here {sharpening & levels in Snapseed}, nature slid it way more impressively than I ever could!! I polled the family for a one word description. Examples were surreal, otherworldly and Daliesque. That last word seemed to cover it best!
This is an unusual shot because of the pool of water fronting the sea. A sand replenishment operation has reshaped the beach carrying the sand down the shoreline with the in and outgoing tides. The pool of water is one result ... displaying some spectacular reflections!!!! I have had no opportunity to check out the Nikon shots ... so I give you the iPhone shot!!
I'm taking Jack back to school this morning ... will be back to check out all your sliders this evening!! Happy Sliders Sunday Folks! Hope everyone has a great Sunday!
I can't end beach week without a beach fence!! If you look closely, you will find the fisherman!!
Happy Fence Friday & TGIF!
He was so happy to see the sunrise! It has been a very long time since I photographed Plankton! He was very miffed and uncooperative, but finally I got him to oblige. Even toys can't resist a good sunrise over the lake!
It has also been a long time since I posted a Toy on Thursday! *gasp* In fact ... the last time I posted was way back in January, and ... incidentally, that one was taken in Chicago too!
Happy Toy-in-the-Frame Thursday!!
Taken during that magic hour after the sun has set ... a lonely sentinel standing guard as one last figure walks the beach. *happy sigh* wishing I was there ... wishing that was me!
Cheers to your Tuesday!

Down to earth then sinks the sun ♫
Back in 2018, it was my 1st time visiting the beautiful town of Baler and I got to capture this special view.
I uploaded this to Flickr awhile ago but never posted it! Even now, when I walk about, it still looks like autumn around here. It is so ridiculously warm today (81°). I feel like I'm on another planet.
Sorry in advance to all you folk who suffered through the polar vortex. I really am envious of the snowy photos .... but not the bitter cold temps! Still no snow in the mountains around here. Never did get to take Sammy out sledding :(
Hope everyone is enjoying their Tuesday!

Morning light at Serón
[This is a series of photos that I took while backpacking Torres del Paine. I tried to take as many photos as possible, but it rained so much more than I had ever anticipated, so it was not possible. Itt was extremely windy, so a combination of both rain and wind made it difficult to shoot while actually hiking.]
I did not know if the wooden wagon was even in use. It was there when I arrived there from Central for the first time, and even later when I returned from Dickson after failing to go over the pass due to waist deep snow, it was still there. Well, I definitely didn’t see a single horse or a cow there.
My mind was racing. I had to compose a shot before the light faded. And the wagon had to be part of it. While completely mesmerized by the color palettes that unfolding before my eyes, I had to make sure that the shot was worth composing.
I snapped a shot, but I wasn’t sure.
And took another.
And that was it. I was already looking for the next subject that I could place in the foreground.
