Picknick in paradise, a photo from Bohol, Central Visayas

Photographer's Note

Panglao is a small sandy island belonging to the Bohol province in the Central Vissayas of the Philippines. It is situated just south of Bohol islandand connected by two bridges.

The beaches on Panglao are just beautiful with clear white sand, palm trees along the beach and cristal clear water. These 'cabins' can be found with Doljo beach on the southern tip of Panglao and can be used as covered picknick places under the burning sun. The water is very shallow for quite a long distance into the sea so the cabins are easy to reach.

The hills in the background are of Bohol island.

A very beautiful place, and I can picture myself relaxing under one of those with some tasty food, and perhaps an ice cold San Miguel.

You managed the strong light well, and the reflections in the water are nice.

It must be a wonderful and relaxing place. I would not mind to picnic there for a while. The photo is nice but I think it would be nicer with a bit more of the beach, sand and trees to give context.

Hej Harko!
Vet inte om den här ön Panglao ligger i närheten av den jag besökte senast "Malapascua"
den har i alla fall samma socker beach. filippinerna har ju en god tradition av att bygga flytande hus i alla möjliga former.
En vacker bild med husen lite surrealistiskt utplacerade i vattnet. Jag gillar compen tycker att balansen mellan himmel och vatten är föredömlig.

Hallo Harko,

Ik keek gisteren naar een origonele opname tijdens de aanval van de Amerikanen tijdens de oorlog op de Philipijnen, het ziet er nu een stuk vredelievende uit dan toen.
U nam een een foto wanneer alle mensen wegwaren maar toch vind ik dit mooi de stilte en de samenstelling met de hutten geeft een schittered beeld. Bedankt.

Prettig weekend,
John.

Hi Harko,

there are BIG spiders there so it´s definitely NOT paradise ;-)

Take care, Ivana

Hi Harko
Nice photo. Very sharp and beautiful colours. I agree with the WS, the cropping could have been better.
Is this in Alora beach?

Pristine view... This looks so beautiful, so calm. A place where you would like to stay all day long without doing much. Excellent quality shot.
