Twilight photographers need only one reason to be up at dawn: to capture its colors for posterity.
On the northern tip of Cagayan, where the Pacific Ocean reveals its true nature, we found fishermen already up before us. But they probably have many more reasons to be up at dawn, probably as many as they have mouths to feed. And while we focus on capturing twilight's beauty, we don't forget even for a moment that many others don't have our luxury. So today's postcard is for all of them, for everyone up at dawn because they need to. Enjoy.
(Pixel-peepers: When you shoot the grand landscape, it helps if you try to anchor them with objects that provide a sense of scale.)

Arnel uses archival inks and museum-grade paper to ensure his prints will not fade. You will not be disappointed. (All my images are provided gratis to help showcase the beauty of our country.
