Dos Palmas by night. This is such a wonderful place. It's as if you don't want to leave the place. Nature is God's work of art. And the talents He gave to the brilliant architects and engineers of this place are obviously put into good use.
Inside the island. They peppered the place with glaring lights. This is one of my unforgettable trips. I mentioned in my Water Photo Hunt entry that this is where I experienced our boat stopped in the middle of the deep blue sea for ten minutes. It felt like forever. But the island is just gorgeous. The island resort is located in Palawan, northwest of its capital, Puerto Princesa. It is one of the sixteen islands nestled in the waters of Honda Bay. If you are into diving, this place is great for you. One can do a lot of sporting activities here or just sit back and marvel at the place with its breathtaking view.
*I did not take this picture but a friend of mine did. I just asked for a copy because I couldn't resist the beautiful shots he did. Please click the pictures if you may for better appreciation. :)

Yes, I wish I were there. Really I do.
Yes I want to be there too. Lovely photos. Happy weekend.
Beautiful pictures, very romantic. One day, maybe one day, I'll visit...
One of the places I wish I could visit. Not exactly Dos Palmas but Palawan itself.
Mine is up too. Have a great weekend, Lynn. :)
ganda ng place. nice pics.
pero pag sinabing dos palmas ang naalala ko si rico yan :)
After looking at these pictures I know I need a vacation. Good take on the theme.
gorgeous!
you can even see the stars.
Thanks for stopping by.
Nice photos, lynn!
Oh, I wish I'm there... What a romantic getaway!
Gorgeous night shots! Looks like a little heaven yes. Especially for us that just have begin to enter the early summer here in Sweden. It's still a bit chilly here.
I wonder if we're ever going to the Philippines - sometime in the future... We nearly went there in 2005, but got sick with Pneumonia and had to cancelled. We have friends that go there every winter, to Mindoro and they made us wanna go there :-)
wow! stunning shots. how i wish i can visit palawan.
MAIYLAH, Yup, the second picture was taken at sunset. :)
CALLIE ANN, INCOG & NITO, A., MOUSEY, Come and visit the Philippines. We have a lot of great places like this to visit and really enjoy! (By the way, I am not from the Dept of Tourism). :)
JULIE, Maganda ang Palawan. The last frontier as they say. I have visited the Underground River. Too far but worth it.
CESS, Ako naman what I was a little worried about when we went there is a different thing. But once you get there, you have no choice but to enjoy the place. It's that beautiful.
JOSE, Thanks! Get one, quick! :)
DIANE, You mentioned about the stars so I checked them again. There are stars indeed! :)
SALEN, Thanks! Take a vacation with your hubby! :)
CAPTAIN LIFECRUISER, Little heaven, that's a perfect description. I do hope you come and visit the Philippines and explore our beautiful places here. I guess your friends go to Puerto Galera in Mindoro. It's one of the famous getaways here in our country.
That looked like a lovely holiday.
God is the greatest artist! Thanks for visiting my meme blog :)

Lynn, those are fantastic photos, I'd have a hard time picking which one ws my favorite though I do like the first one I think just a bit more than the others. It sounds like a great place to visit, I thank you for visiting me and my wishes for a fantastic week for you.
:-)
Hi Lynn. Thanks for sharing these beautiful photos. I've never been to Palawan before. It's one of the many places in the Philippines that I'd like to visit some day. Thanks for sharing and visiting mine earlier.
I love photography and lighting is a very important aspect. You have artistically captured the lighting in these photos, especially in the water. Very nice!
Thank you for visiting my site - I kind of like the third photo. It has that strong commanding look to it.
Beautiful!!
Happy photo hunting
It does look absolutely beautiful- and oh so sexy at night!
It looks very exotic and like a great place to visit!
I just signed up for the Photo Hunt this past week. I'm excited to start! I'll have to see what it is for the week and work on it when I get off work!
Nature sure is God's work of art...then again, your pictures are works of art too! Thank you for sharing!
Gorgeous!!!

You ask "Is your picture above what is called solarized?"
It is actually a photo that I inverted.
I think that's a beautiful island. They're developing more of Palawan now huh?
I love the centre photo. Great!
How beautiful! I wish I were there right now!

Looks like a place I would enjoy visiting.
Beautiful and unique shots of a most unique place. Thanks for visiting earlier. Have an awesome weekend!
Beautiful.
What a beautiful and interesting place that must be. Thanks for sharing.
Everyone is invited to my Art Exhibition. Hope to see you there.
It looks like a paradise... Maybe I could buy a one-way ticket there and leave all my worries behind me? A tempting idea, sadly the world doesn't work like that.
But it is beautiful. Serene.
What a paradise - wish I was there!
Happy weekend and thanks for dropping by!

Ahhh, I am jealous, wish I were there!
What an amazing place. God truly is the Master Artist and his shares his talent with us and through us. Great choice for The Hunt. If it's this beautiful in photos is must be just breathtaking in person.
