Stingrays Photo | TrekEarth

Photographer’s Note

Four of the 7,100 islands that compose the Philippine archipelago. These were off Cebu island while I was travelling by plane from Cebu to Aklan. I am sure they have a name and it looks like the big one is inhabited. Since it is low tide, it seems that the beaches around them are wide but the small ones are nothing but sandbars during high tide.

This is typical fans made by the sea current. It is a curious shape and your name is really very appropriated. This is a nice picture taken from above through a plane window. I like the colours and also the POV. Well done.

Very nicely captured Ken, not easy shooting from an aircraft, your island group could be part of the Comotes, nice work indeed.

Very clever caption and the lack of a visible horizon makes the illusion complete. I took it upon myself to find these islets using Google Earth but the Philippine archipelago is still mostly a blur.
