    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!

    @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.

    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?

    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...

    I like the wild look of outriggers. I imagine travelling in a small one could be most exhilarating.

    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!
