Figures and Landscapes: The Philippines

by Nomadic Chick on February 6, 2012

What’s closest to my heart is configuring words, allowing them to tumble upon the page.  However, every so often I’m inspired to rely on my eye, instead of prose.

Here are some of my favorite images captured during my time in the Philippines.

Banaue

Tricycle.

Girl in town.

Rice terraces.

Rita.


Boyhood in transportation.

Hapao

Terraces at sunset.

Our guide in repose.


Reflections of light.


Bohol

Dojo Beach.



Crystalline waters.


Anda

Kitty dozing.



Palm trees swaying.

Rice fields ablaze.

El Nido

Island hopping.


The three wisemen.


Rocky waters don’t detract from the beauty.

We dug for clams together.


Beach dogs.


Ready to sail.


My wish is this moves you, inspires you to visit the Philippines one day.  It’s truly a diverse, breathtaking land full of memorable human beings.

Hi Jeannie,
Glad you made it to El Nido. Did you ever find the Orange Pearl?

@Nomadic Chick – No worries, everything happens for a reason. At least it allowed me to see and experience the country slowly over an extended period of time. I’m just glad for the experience. And I don’t know about you but I do kinda miss the bumpy trike and jeepney rides ;)

It was great chatting, keep taking awesome pictures!

Fantastic photos! My ex is a native Filipina, I spent to years with her, visiting the Phils every couple months. Those pictures definitely made me feel like I had returned for another trip! Thank you for the flashback ;)

@Janet – Once in a while, I can pull it off, but I’m very very low level. I’m just happy they are in focus.

@Catwoman – Never say never, right?
