Beach Photography is one of the best souveneirs we have in the place. Black and white photo is a kind of arts in life.

Today, as part of my Second coastal travel here in the Province of Misamis Oriental, allow me to share the simple way of living to all residents near at the coast and also a part of #monomad post here. Fishing is one of their primary source of income, in fact not only to the sea but also at the coastal or at the shore, finding Crabs, Trapped fishand shrimps in the rock pools and also sea shells. Fishing hunt activities or in local term we called it, is already in scheduled meaning when lowtide happens expected that their are lots of people who came to the shore just to do fishing. When afternoon came, fishermen started to set sail to the sea and cast their nets and wait for a few hours there.

People Helping each Other lifting this Small Boat:

Bayanihan, or a kind of helping each other is very important here. People did team work just to carry small boats off from the sea or on to the sea when it sails. The conditions about this is when the boat owner have lots of fish to catch, He will give some to those who help him lifting the boat. This what they always did and it is not really an easy job because of the heavy thing they lift. This photo shows how they build their team work and also how they loved each other as one community. The reason why they lifted it, to avoid and keep from rough waves and the low tide is very wide and the sea is very far from the coast.

Lots of seashells can be seen and found here specially during lowtide, this big seas shells is best for meals and some of people who catched lots of it are going to sell at the market. This kind of shell mostly found under the sand or in the mud, it only comes out when hightide came and the indications about it is the mount of sands at the shore. When people sees some mount of sands, they hurriedly dug it and found this kind of shell.

Every lowtide, tons of big and small rocks can be seen at the surface aside of that peebles and fine sands can also be seen. That is the reason why there are lots of sea shells founs here, rocks pools were lots of fish and shrimps found and some big crabs hiding in the rock holes. Some of the big rocks and corals are already covered with salt water plants like seaweeds and mangroove trees.

The Beautiful Plain Coast:

Aside of fishing spots, this place is also perfect for camping trips and picnics. This wide and plain areas is located at the shore and there are lots of tourists came here. This are can fit hundreds of tents and it is facing to the wide deep sea and contains a wonderful views specially when there is a sunset.

The clouds and the Sunset is just like a painting up in the sky. Everytime when visiting the coast, one of the best view here is the sunset and the clouds kissing to the sea. It always happens here when the weather is good and there are lots of perfect sunsets can be seen. This coastal areas hid a great and wonderful views. This is also the reason why their are lots of people came here and spending time with their families and friends, building camps or set picnics.

Strong winds also happens here every hightide or bad weather as for that, coconut trees are leaning towards the sea because of the strong winds. It is very dangerous to climb up on those leaning trees that is why people avoided to climb. Despite of that, those coconut trees also produced lots of coconuts and the dry coconut palm is also used as a firewood. It can also give shady areas and great views of the place. Until next post, have a nice day to everyone.

Dear friend, you really have a “photographic soul” of the highest level!... You compose your photos with a naturalness and eloquence that can hardly be learned by studying, you are born with it!... Never stop taking pictures please!... I send you a huge applause!

The first photo is great, but I particularly loved this one because it's simply “a postcard built in B&W” in a great way!
