Sunset at the Bay

Crossing the San Juanico Strait (Samar/Leyte)

Pundaquit, Zambales

Manila Bay

When i first started experimenting on Photography, my most common obsession were the sunsets. The Philippines is blessed with some of the finest views of the setting sun due to its geographical build up and location. Since im a natural wanderer with a craze for travel, i was fortunate to have the chance to shoot at some of the most scenic sites in the Philippines.

The first is a view of the Sunset from the San Juanico Bridge between Samar and Leyte Islands. San Juanico Bridge is the longest suspended bridge in the Philippines. Construction on the 21.9 million dollars bridge began in 1969 and was completed in 1973, during the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos.

Next was taken along the coast of Zambales Province. Capones Island and a couple of other smaller islands (the Camera Islands) lie a few kilometers from the shores of Pundaquit, Zambales known for its white sand beaches.

Last is the Manila Bay. This bay is considered as the best natural harbor in East Asia and one of the finest in the world. This was the site of the famous naval Battle of Manila Bay which was the first major engagement of the Spanish-American War, that eventually led to the collapse of the Spanish Empire and the rise of America as a World Superpower.
