The Watch Tower Photo

Photographer’s Note

Dynamite fishing is very rampant in the Philippines. It destroys the corals, kills the finger lings and devastate the environment. This watch tower in Tabango, Leyte is purposely built hoping to minimize this crime.

Hi Edgar, interesting shot.

Dynamite and Cyanide fishing is a big problem, but it has gotten better, and we can only thank that most people are now trying to prevent this.. Educating the locals on what it does to the area has helped reduce it a lot, thanks to some organizations in the Philippines.

Anyway, well composed shot, i like the branch resting on the top of the shot and that little rock/arch. Nicely done, and nice note explaining the scene.

Cheers,
Tom
