"We better go." said our boatman as he stared out to the middle of the lake.
We were on Lake Kapispisan at sunset, an inland sea in Aklan, as the tide rushed out to sea. Little did we realize what worried our boatman until our boat suddenly stopped in the middle of nowhere. The water level had dropped so low that we had scraped bottom. We can't wade all the way back, can we?
Just then the sun broke through the thick clouds as it bade us goodbye, transforming a row of fish pens on the horizon into silhouettes. There's no time to worry about getting stuck. The moment escapes. Click. Click. Click. Enjoy.
(Pixel-peepers: Shooting from a rickety boat isn't to the best interests of our beloved gear, but the moment beckoned. No matter how many sunsets I've seen, they just floor me every single time.)
