Divesite: Insel Bangka (Nord Sulawesi/Indonesien)

This is the side of a very interesting abandonded boat in Maramba, Oas Albay, Philippines. I just love HDR and the “grunge” treatment especially for these types of weathered and forgotten subjects. I ended up bracketing 5 exposures at 1 stop each. The shot processed in Photomatix and Tone-mapped for the ‘grunge” look.

begitu cantik dan sangat indah panoramanya... biru dan sepi.. tak sabar rasanya ingin segera mandi di laut..

1st day at Thalassa resort we went on an extended trip to Bangka island, which was about an hour boat ride to the north. The underwater scenery there was amazing, and the water so warm and clear.

Araw gabi naalala ka

Ngalan mo’y nasa isip t’wina

Laging nananabik sa pagdating ng bagong umaga

Dala ang pag-asang muling makapiling ka.

Sa aking paggising sa bagong umaga

Aking naaninag matamis nating pagsasama

Sana ay wala nang magbago pa

Pagkat mamahalin kita

Kahit habang buhay pa.
