Lighthouse Effect

There's something romantic about lighthouses. It's not just the way they light a ship's way in a moonless night.

They have a magic feel to them that I can't describe. Staring at 'em set against a backdrop of a remote cape somewhere far away, is simply enchanting. And romantic I must say.

The Philippines, being an archipelago, has a lot of lighthouses and I'm blessed to see some of them and capture their gallant stand against the ravages of nature. Some withstood the test of time and have weathered many storms.

But my first lighthouse experience is not captured in an image but it's something very close to my heart. It is in my hometown, Ajuy. The lighthouse is in an uninhabited island (Parola) in between Panay and Negros island.

We too, as sailing ships in this vast ocean of life, have our own lighthouses that guide our way.

What's your lighthouse?
