I woke up at 5:30 am, a bit cold at ~23C, others are still asleep because sunrise will still be at 6:15am. I walked for 5 min to reach this area which has less trees to openly see the Batangas Bay, Philippines. The sea is calm these days when the monsoon is from the Northeast.
I will show you the progression of the scenes as i viewed it in my viewfinder, and these photos are directly uploaded from the camera, with only resizing done.
At the horizon beyond this bay is the Batangas International Port

You live in a beautiful paradise. Thanks for sharing...breathtaking pics.
ReplyDeleteThe view looks so tranquil and peaceful. A good place to celebrate the holidays away from commotion. Thanks for posting those pics.
ReplyDeleteI don't know if you read my response to one of the comments you left on my blog. My blog is about our farm in probably the least known municipality in Isabela. If ever you find yourself one day in our province do let me know, you are most welcome to visit.
Beautiful sunsets - you live in a very beautiful place. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful place!!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat composition, Andrea! An artist paints like a photographer while a photographer takes photos that look like painted pictures and works of art. If I am in the Philippines, I'll drop by your house and have a Christmas feast with you by the seaside. We can watch the sunset on Christmas eve and the sunrise on Christmas day ;>)
ReplyDeleteHave a wonderful Christmas, my dear friend!
OMG Andrea, just amazing photos. Isn't dawn the most amazing time of day? Wishing you a very Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy 2011. I have been a bit negligent on the blogs lately and I hope to change that Next year! Take care my friend, Hugs to you.
ReplyDeleteAndrea, these are exquisite images. May you have a beautiful holiday season, whatever you may celebrate, and a peaceful new year.
ReplyDeleteThe first photo is so unusual and beautiful! Taking an early morning walk is so refreshing and rejuvenating. How I wish I can live in your paradise! Thanks for sharing them with us.Merry Xmas and Happy New year Andrea!

ReplyDeleteAndrea, They are breathtaking indeed! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow Andrea these are awesome SOOC camera shots. The light is just breathtakingly beautiful especially being reflected on the sea.
ReplyDeleteSuch a treat to visit your site when the weather in Scotland is so dismal.Keep up the good work
ReplyDeleteThank you very much for your apreciation of my morning photos. This is our bay and we are so happy to be blessed with such a sight in many mornings. But i realized each morning has a different character, and they are all marvelous even with cloudy skies! I am very happy to share them with you.
ReplyDeletedes ciels merveilleux !
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these wonderful pictures, Andrea. The view is spectacular and I'm glad you got up early to get these pictures. Loved the way you've caught the changing colours!
ReplyDeleteAbout your question on my blog, yes...that dendrobium is special. It's not cheap either. The other orchid that women wear on their hair is the Foxtail orchid but that blooms in April only.
Wishing you the best for 2011. HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
These are stunning.I thought the first picture was beautiful,but they all are so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
Wow --what an incredible sunrise... I can't pick a favorite since I love them all.... Thanks, Andrea.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Betsy
These are just so beautiful! They look like posters or postcards.
ReplyDeleteHi Andrea. Nature Notes is similar to Sky Watch or any other meme. On Wednesdays you write a blog post with a photo of anything to do with Mother Nature. Then you come to my website and sign into the linky thing like you would for Sky Watch and visit other Nature Notes bloggers. After everyone is done then I take all the blogger Nature Notes photos and make a collage of them usually on Friday just so we can see what we all posted about. I hope this clears things up...Michelle
ReplyDeleteNo wonder people run away to live on an island...What a magnificent way to start the day~Happy New Year to you Andrea!
ReplyDeleteOh how delicious to have this moment all to yourself. And thanks for sharing with us now. Fabulous.
ReplyDeleteThose pictures are amazing!!! Who needs special effects when we have Mother Nature??
