@EG and VP... this boat is called a banca in the Philippines; it's a native outrigger. They come in all sizes, from tiny single man boats - even smaller than this - that are paddled, to enormous motorized ones up to 30 meters /100 feet that can carry passengers and cargo between the islands.
Oooh....I agree with everyone here. This is a beautiful composition of a lovely scene. I want to jump into that boat and paddle around the ocean. :-) Merry Christmas!
Francesca, Please enlighten us, are those "things" to rest the oars on? Beautiful how the background lights up enough to show the boat i the distance with the masts!

Ooh - I LOVE that shot.
Beautiful composition. I love the treatment too. There is something quite mystical about it.
What a terrific shot indeed, Francisca! I, too, love your composition! And, yes, mystical! Superb! Enjoy your week and a very Merry Christmas!

Wonderfully still and quiet!! Wondering where everyone is when time stood still!!
what a great shot. i enjoyed the composition.
Love that it's in black and white. It's almost eerie in its effect. Water - the most important thing in all our lives.
There is, indeed, an aura about this shot...It is my informed opinion that this should be framed and hanged and/or hung in Francisca's Gallery!
I like almost any kind of boat and this is unusual for me.
I have seen this type of boat on other blogs from the Philippines. What are they called?
This is a beautiful shot, Francesca!
great shot that hits all the themes!

How are you celebrating Christmas?
The tide better come soon, otherwise this poor boat will be stuck.
Low Tide, I miss my place because of your photo. I lived in Donsol (whaleshark) before I came here in the States, have you ever been there?

lovely sepia photo. reminds me of childhood.:p
These boats do look interesting with their wide stabilisers. nice view.
I love the reflection of the outrigger on the water.
A wonderful capture, Francisca! The outrigger is neat.

the effect you've chosen complements this view nicely. it is interesting to see the boats at low tide.
Love the moody tone of this shot! Very peaceful :-)
Great shot! Love it.
A beautiful photo!
very serene watery view
Merry Merry Christmas & Happy Happy New Year!!! =)
It is peaceful here, the boat sitting quietly on the sand awaiting the high tide so it may float again. This is a nice picture, calm and serene...

Great photo. I love the black and white.
I like the wild look of outriggers. I imagine travelling in a small one could be most exhilarating.
That's a lovely watery scene.
W is for wonderful and that's what this photo is. It's really an outstanding photograph.
HI Francisca, wonderful shot so moody. Carla
I love the composition of this -- truly wordless: the elements set the scene.
Oooh....I agree with everyone here. This is a beautiful composition of a lovely scene. I want to jump into that boat and paddle around the ocean. :-) Merry Christmas!
