Hello everyone!
I have witnessed a lot of sunsets here in the Philippines. Some have been documented and shared here in Hive while others were just left to the memory to be reminisced. As I've said before, an awesome combination of stunning islands, long shorelines, and a year-round sun will definitely yield gorgeous sunsets. To have you in the loop of what I'm saying, here are some sunset posts I've shared before:
I purposely added all the links and thumbnails of my sunset posts because I can now compare the palettes of those posts. I just find them super pretty! I don't know about you though. 😂
I will add this post to my sunset list because it's another pretty sunset for me. It's not in the same spot as the sunset during my first visit to Malapascua. This time it's in Langub Beach. We also visited Langub Beach last time, but we didn't stay there as much as we wanted because we still had another place to visit. It was an island-hopping package so we had to visit the sunken ship, which I haven't shared yet. I don't when I'll be able to share that spot here. Anyway, this is Langub Beach for context:
It's like mini Boracay with its powdery white sand. It's an island paradise. Period.
Good thing my friends are so smart that they decided to visit first the other spots that are included in the island-hopping package and then come back to Langub Beach to spend the whole afternoon there. If it was not decided to be so, this post would not be possible. Thank my valedictorian friends. 😂
When we came back to Langub Beach, we had lunch and then spent the whole afternoon relaxing on the sand under the shade of that big Talisay tree. We had gin so felt sleepy after a few shots that I just lie down on the sand and slept like no one cared. It was one of those carefree moments I truly cherish. I woke up energized and I didn't realize the sky was already showing some color changes.
It was already low tide and
invited me to snorkel and explore the shallow sea. As usual, underwater was teeming with life, but I can't help but notice some plastics that are partially buried in the sand. We didn't explore much though because there are sea urchins in the area. The water was slightly warm, but the cold breeze greeted us the moment we were out of the water. I didn't want to get out of the water because it was really cold and I didn't have any dry clothes with me.
As I was submerged in the water, I hoped that I could freeze time because I didn't want that moment to end. Then I realized I haven't taken a single photo of the sunset yet, so I had to get out of the water and take my camera. Hence, these photos were taken a little bit late that afternoon.
The next set of photos were taken at the east and northeast parts of the island.
I have to include this boat. I just find it interesting. No other special reason.
The next set is taken when the sun had almost fully set. I just love the subtle changes.
The last set is just pure fiery sky. There's no better way than to be there and experience this first hand.
I guess that's all for this post. See you on the next sunset post! As always, I appreciate all the support that I get in my posts. Thank you so much!
