Taken from Crystal Cove in Boracay. I decided to go late afternoon since there’s no people around which is good if you want to capture some nice shots of the place.

I took this shot in Boracay, in front of Crystal Cove Island. We had a boat ride and went island hopping. I took this on the way back to the hotel and I saw this nice golden sunset and it’s a sin not to capture it. Anyway, time really flies, in a few days, I’ll be back to work!

This was taken in Hatta – Oman Road… I wanted to experiment with black and white, recently I don’t feel like processing in color.
