Default [Gorio] - Awakening

I saw this kid picking up shells on the shores of Biri. He said that only during low-tide that they can walk this far from the main land and harvest them with ease . He sells them in the market which he then uses to buy bread for lunch.

At the back you can see Mangroves or "Bakawan" plantation that stretches almost halfway going to to the rock formations. Just like the Mangroves I've seen in Panglao, Bohol locals plant them to keep their marine ecosystem balance and to bring in more fish. By the way see the rock formation in the middle that's where I shot my opening image. Awesome Light and View!

Karlo,

This is a special picture and a moving story to bolster our experience. I like beauty, and this exudes that quality. However, the moving story of the boys life, is goes far deeper to grab at one's heart strings far beyond just beauty.

Asher
