Black sand beach

Black sand beach

A Geologist friend of mine once said that if a beach is black, that means that there was or is volcanic activity in the area. And this is the color of the sand of the beach in my home place in the Philippines. In the same coastal line few hours from here is the famous Boracay Resort well knowned for it's white sand.

I have been missiing this lone secluded beach of Ipil Belison Antique where my home in the Philippines is. Early in the morning is the perfect day for a walk, to take photos, only sound you can hear are the rolling waves. My mother always comes with me and of course the dogs. Missed you guys!

Tricycles

Tricycles

Motorized tricycles are a common means of passenger transport everywhere in the Philippines, except on busy major highways and very busy city streets. "The tricycle is the most popular means of transport in small towns and cities, especially in the rural areas"

Motorized tricycles come in several varieties. All are built around a motorcycle. One variety has a cab completely enclosing the motorcycle and rider. These accommodate three to four passengers and luggage or boxes can be placed on the roof. A passenger sits next to the driver and up to three passengers can be seated in two bench seats in a compartment behind the rider and front seat. These can be completely enclosed in plastic during rainy weather.

Another variety for passengers has a motorcycle on the left side and a side car on the right side. Usually both the cycle and sidecar are covered, but not always by the same roof. Usually one passenger can ride behind the driver and two in the side car.
