Boracay

[Doc Alan]

• Airport ( only a short boat trip to the island, but restriction on allowable baggage compared to more distant Kalibo Airport. As always, left click on image to enlarge ).

Thanks Andy :smile:.

Can I nick one for my desktop wallpaper Doc?

Can I nick one for my desktop wallpaper Doc?

I would be most flattered if you did, Andy :xxgrinning--00xx3:

In my opinion, it's pretentious to " label " photos such as " Doc Alan photography ". I'm not a professional photographer and I'm happy if anyone wishes to copy my " images " - indeed they have already appeared on other internet sites :smile:.

Similarly, no one has challenged my use of " vintage " Philippines photos ( scanned from postcards ) or banknote and coin images ( also scanned and acceptable as they are not the same size as the originals ). For me, it's a hobby and I'm glad if Forum members find them interesting.

The " Coins and Banknotes " thread ( " Living in the Philippines " section ) seems to have attracted additional viewers who might not have otherwise discovered the Forum, which must be good news :xxgrinning--00xx3:.

Doc you know I'm not overly enamoured with Boracay but your photos are first class particularly the sunsets - unless you've got one of Crafty's bar I might have to use the Crab & Lobster one for wallpaper :biggrin:

[Doc Alan]

Thank you Ded :xxgrinning--00xx3: ! I do know your thoughts about Boracay, and took your advice to visit Crafty’s – but not for a drink or meal, just to take this view :-

Here’s another view of the crab and lobster for your " wallpaper " :smile: !

I should add, in view of Joebloggs’s thread (http://filipinaroses.com/showthread.php/56188-Philippines-raises-concern-over-high-bacteria-levels-on-Boracay-water ), that I suffered no ill effects from swimming off White Beach – although sadly there’s visible pollution in the form of plastic rubbish ( China, Indonesia, and the Philippines are especially guilty of marine pollution by such materials ) :doh .

[Dedworth]

Thank's Doc :xxgrinning--00xx3: - just found this short vid of Crafty's

I havent been to boracay in years,its changed beyond recognition judging by the pics,its got an airport now?Isnt there talk of a bridge being built over to it?That's the airport in Caticlan but they were thinking of building one on a neighbouring island (Carabao).
