DREAMLIKE MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY

MACRO PHOTOS

I have seen a lot of macro photography, id like to say macro photography is odd to watch because these are images you wont be seeing that close everyday . The pictures below is taken by LEE PEILING from Tanzania, what i like bout these photos is the used of the colors in the background together with the subject makes the image surreal, it's like painted.

BORACAY IN APRIL 1979

BORACAY ISLAND, PHILIPPINES  APRIL 1979

I came to saw this blog about Boracay in 1979 and it caught my attention how beautiful Boracay was, a paradise back then, i was really amazed. It reminded me when i was a kid,  during summer vacation we would travel to Leyte to visit relatives, those were the days that i would love to reminisce and wish i could turn back time. Those days are long gone now, indeed times change quickly and so is BORACAY.

Here is what the author posted.

Boracay in the summer of 1979: only one tourist on the beach, only one bangka in the water, fully grown coconut trees along the whole length of the beach, two negrito boys taking a walk, no construction of any sort along the beach.

 

Our "resort" in Boracay, simply called Aguirre's Place, located in the grounds of what is now Bans Beach Resort. The rooms cost P7 per night in 1979.

The trail from the North end to the South end of the beach: coconut trees as far as the eye could see.

The sunset seen through the coconut trees from the lanai of Aguirre's Place.

Let us compare what Boracay looks like in 2012

Just along the shoreline a lot of business establishments are already been put up

Sailboats are all over the place, these boats are for rent for island hopping

Tourists flock the island during summer time, but this summer it's raining.

We can still see a few locals around the island, with a skimboard :)

Those old nipa huts were gone, we would see building structures within the bay area.

That lovely paradise that was in 1979 was long gone, but we are lucky enough to witness what is Boracay today, i wish the government would preserve the beauty of the island even with the structures that is being put up in the island, or if not i'm blessed to visit the place and enjoy the paradise, so if you haven't visited the island go check it out before it's too late.

Enjoy Boracay!
