The swan may also stand as messages of love and relationships. Some may pair for male-female and may continue for a lifetime.When the swan move upon the waters of our consciousness or alertness , it might be a symbol of love, and a reminder of the blessings found in our relationships.

Light beyond the Darkness

Light beyond the Darkness

        This image represent the greatness of light  between the darkness that surrounds the sky.  There seems to be room for only frustration, sadness, and anger. Try as we might, the darkness we find ourselves in feels too deep to climb out of. Without a light to guide us and lead us out of the darkness, it is difficult to find our way. Although we know that the universe shines bright beyond the fog, at this time it's difficult to imagine what the warmth of the light would feel like. It is our challenge to find a way out of the dark place that we have imprisoned ourselves in. Today, take responsibility for where you are. Acknowledge and respect that you may not be where you feel you should be. Work through the mist or if you feel unable to, get help. Although you may feel alone, there is someone standing next to you that you can lean on. Hold out your hand and let others lead you out of the darkness.

Every people has a talent of being creative  not only in this but also in all things. So, things must value and let's put our creative minds to work.

Seaside Afternoon

Sunset in the seaside covered by the clouds. Seaside has an amazing and rugged beauty that has not been discovered by some people. Its interesting view that surround the beaches and captures the light in the beautiful sky before the darkness starts to appear.

Colorful Sunset

One of the most colorful times of the day is when the sun is going down to rest behind the horizon. It’s an ideal time to get out the camera and get to work. It’s also one of the most challenging times to capture the light just the way we want. As the sun falls closer to the horizon you can count on dramatic changes in lighting from minute to minute. After seeing the sun sets for hundreds of times, we are still touched every single time. The sight of the life-giving sun, saying farewell, leaving us with the dark night and always catches us. The sunset doesn't end, we can keep on shooting until the last of the twilight is gone into the night.

Beautiful Sunset

The most attractive part of nature photography is sunset photography. Sometimes wonderful sunset shots can be taken naturally without any effort, it’s often the case that the best ones come out of planning. Look for interesting places where you might not only be able to see the sun track all the way down but where there will be opportunities for shots that include foreground elements and silhouettes. Sunsets only take half an hour so do not miss the shots that you were looking for. Let's enjoy the moment of capturing those beautiful shots because it is one part of the joy of photography.

Beach Attraction

One of the best and beautiful beach in Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte.Pagudpud Beach, 2 hours north of Laoag City, has powder-white sand, but it’s hard to tell which is bluer , the sky or the sea. This is the second most popular stretch of white sand beach in the town of Pagudpu. Taking pictures of some beautiful spots here in Philippines is one of the things that I loved most. Beach is a one of a perfect location that I prefer for all genres of photography.
