Last week my honey and I joined a group of good friends for a few days of fun and laughter at a resort on the tip of Negros Oriental, about an hour's drive from the university town of Dumaguete.
Join me here for a little stroll along the beautiful sea. The boardwalk is concrete and has seen better days, but the camera did not mind that.

Thank you for the map at the end of this stunning post...I was just about to Google where you are. Your travels are amazing! We woke to a snow storm on this beautiful New Years Day...no church for us, but blessed by friends I've made through blogging. Happy New Year! And thanks for the tip on the side about backing up your blog. I've never done that!
So many graceful curves in your photos. What a beautiful place to walk - the air must be so invigorating.
the lines and curves, colors and texture give the place such charisma! you took me on a wonderful New Years morning stroll! awesome pics! And, thank you for supplying the map! a very nice posting, Francisca! Happy 2012 to you and yours!
ineresting photos! What an amazing 'concrete' boardwork and fencing...
You have so many really gorgeous photos here. What a pleasure to visit today. Amazing sea wall/walkway. It must be unique in the world.
So much work went into this concrete boardwalk and railing!
I love that the bridge is a continuation and does not break the lines along the sea.
Happy New Year, Francisca
So many varied and lovely photos from one picturesque location - for those that have eyes to see.... Happy New Year Francisca, hope 2012 will be a good year for you.
What a beautiful place, Francisca. I can see the effect of the saltwater on the concrete seawall, which must have taken a great deal of time and labor to build.
It seems to have affected the rock as well. It looks like lava rock.
Still, the photos of the waves are spectacular.
All the best to you and your honey.

Happy New Year Francisca.

Wow, thanks for the stroll. Great photos. And thanks for including the map at the end.
Oh, what a fun life you lead! Can't wait to see and learn more in the new year:)
Beautiful capture of the bridge.
Happy New Year to you and yours!
Love the old stonework ... but it's a LOOOOONG drop down to the sea!! Spectacular!!
Happy New Year!
Magnificent... and the aging walkway makes it even more charming actually, time has blended it to the stunning Natural elements around it beautifully.
Happy New Year from the Arizona Desert... Dawn... The Bohemian
What can I say more than what was already written by the others, befor me? It seems a wonderful place to be, Francisca! I like the photos you took there.
Wow...just plain and simple...wow!!! I love the stroll along the sea shore with you. Beautiful, stately, and the antiquity of it all...awesome.

Happy New Year...
What a fantastic place to visit. I would love to walk this boardwalk, the views must be beautiful. Thanks for sharing. I wish you and yours a very Happy New Year!
Such an exquisite collection of images Francisca. I love traveling through your eyes.
What a fantastic place, Francisca! The photos are simply great. Best wishes in 2012.
Very beautiful! Not like anything we see here in the US! Thanks for sharing! ♥♥♥
Oh wow what a great place to visit. I loved the photos.
Happy New Year!
*sigh*
It's all so beautiful.
Just as I was asking myself 'where is home to this interesting woman?' I noticed the link at the top of your blog and now I know!
The beautiful views were certainly ehanced by the shabby and crumbly textures in the stone bridge and walkway. It looks very ancient and romantic there.
WOW!!! You have given us one fabulous post this week. What a gorgeous series of shots. I would love to visit. I love the way you put your mosaics together. They are so appealing to the eye. Hope all is well. Happy New Year. genie
The rusting on the bridge makes it more interesting! Glad you had a good time -- Happy New year!!
Oh i was not able to see this before i commented to the last post. Your photos are real good, which might entice others to go there too. I can understand what you told me in private, being familiar with how things are! However, i have not been to this area. I've been to Twin Lakes high above the mountains maybe 2hrs from the city. I love it better when not many man-made structures cramp the area. Twin Lakes are maybe dormant volcano craters, as there are lots of big rocks on the way there, evidences of previous eruptions.
An interesting place. The bridge in the last photo seems a bit precarious... I am sure it's not. :D, Ev
Thanks, Francisca, for sharing the photos of my hometown, inspite of the wrath of Sendong. I was thinking about your group on your scheduled tour.
Happy New Year!
P.S. My group is raising funds to help support the victims.
Omigosh, what gorgeous images! I can imagine arriving, and not knowing where to tun my lens first! Thanks so much for taking us along on your holiday. Best wishes for a very happy new year! xoxo
