Did I say the armada landed in the dark of the night?
Last week, I mentioned fishing boats arrived in droves at the Estancia fish port in Iloilo. It was too dark to photograph them while they unloaded their catch, but shortly after sunrise the glory of the entire armada was revealed. The wooden boats looked ancient and creaky, almost un-seaworthy. Yet when set within a quaint island harbor at dawn, it was much like a romantic storybook scene from a time long past. Enjoy.
(Pixel-peepers: Shooting into the light, most of the foreground was lost in the shadows. Shadow recovery software to the rescue!)
