Cang Isok House: We Passed by an Old Nipa House in Siquijor
Hi, ASEAN Hive Community! This time I am showing you some photos I took in Siquijor. We passed by an old nipa house on the island which is believed to be a century-old nipa house. Photos taken back in 2013.
We stopped by here as part of the tour. We had no idea who was the owner of this old house. Upon searching earlier, it was owned by Isok and the locals call it 'Cang Isok' or 'Kang Isok'.
All photos were taken by a Nikon D5100 and I played around with the contrast and shadows. The old Nipa house became a photogenic subject. With this photo, I retained the original color of the parol or the Star-shaped Christmas decor which was orange.
It was approaching sunset so the light was giving off a dramatic effect.
Playing around with the contrast and shadow gave the old Nipa house a rustic effect.
Turning it into black and white gave it a creepy effect. It felt haunted but actually, the place was very quiet and serene.
And how I wish I could buy this land property as I wanted a house by the beach. Hehe, wishful thinking!
Although it is better to preserve this area for tourism purposes.
I liked how the Star Parol was photogenic.
Also, I put more saturation mostly on the photos.
This is to highlight the old structure of the wooden parts in the photo.
Some fisherman put his boat near the old Nipa house. Maybe he is one of the owners or related to the owner.
Or how I wish the real owners could restore this place and make it their vacation house.
Anyway, here are some articles I have written before. I hope you enjoyed my photos of the old-century Nipa house. Isn't it beautiful?

Luhh looks karaan najud sya sis. I remember our first house when I was still a child, it looks similar to his.
Payag pod bitaw tong sa among lola ug lola ug sa amo pod silingan. Bugnaw gani kaayo.
Creepy ang photos, lalo na kung iisipin mo scary stories bout Siquijor hehe
haha yon nga ang first impression. Ewan ko ba sa Siquijor, always tindig-balhibo ko dyan.
Not an ordinary nipa house. I love how you played woth colors that changed the feel of the photos.
Oo, unique kaayo sya.
He has taken many wonderful photographs of old house pictures. Such houses are hard to find nowadays. However, such houses are still seen on the hills or in different places. It's the view of the river that makes me want to travel. I wish you all the best and look forward to traveling more. Also I wish the best for your family
Thank you so much :D
you are mos wellcome
