A Day on the Beach, Bantayan Island, Cebu Philippines

A Night in Bantayan Island, Cebu Philippines

Sunrise in Bantayan Island

Witnessing the golden hour in the morning is truly remarkable and brings incalculable happiness.  It brings peace and stillness that is worth in reflecting the past and plan ahead the activity of the day.  Bantayan Island in Cebu is a perfect spot in beholding the first light of the day.  The sea, the sky and the sand turns to gold as the sun peeks from the horizon. Its beams flawlessly dispersed and like carefully stroked in a canvas.  A perfect time to sit on the porch, sips coffee, and give thanks to the Lord who paints the sky for us. Above are the few captured images of sunrise in the island.
