    Funnily enough, Myrna's brothers have a fish pond too, on their land ... in Davao del Norte Province, Mindanao.

    Ever used a Loofa in the bath ?

    This is where they come from. Amazing.

    .




    I've actually brought home that small one (which I found on the ground) as a souvenir.

    Interesting photos Graham. It is my goal to have a few ponds like that, but when I do, I will build my house on the side so I can sit on the terrace and fish.

    You could do exactly that in that structure Steve, but after testing the strength of the ageing balcony I decided not to use it to even admire the view.

    The fish ponds themselves were totally fascinating for me though...a keen naturalist and 'aquarist' all my life.

    I have been a fisherman all my life both coarse and sea. I have a few friends in Phils with fish farms so will have good advice on digging one, stocking and harvesting. But it has to be next to my house where I can look after it and relax looking over my waters. I also used to keep and breed fish, to the point where I have done a course in international aquatic judging in Singapore. Where I met my wife.

    Nice pics Graham

    You just taught me something new, I always thought Loofas came from coral in the sea. So see - you've put me right on that one
