So this week’s photography challenge is “My Neighborhood”. To make it even more interesting, all the photos should have been taken using a mobile phone. At present, my “neighborhood” for most of the month is Bacuit Bay in El Nido, Palawan, Philippines. It’s got to be one of the most beautiful places in the world. They say that the best camera is the one that you have with you, and my iPhone 4S hasn’t left my side since I bought it last year. So behold – Bacuit Bay as seen through a smartphone’s lens 🙂

It absolutely is! One of the best places in the world 🙂
Beautiful! Great shots there.
Thank you! 🙂
Hi! Awesome neighborhood! I always wanted to visit and dive there!
Yes it is! And the diving here is also great 😀 Very rare to get pelagics but we do have turtles, nice reefs, lots of fish, and an assortment of the tiny stuff too. I have photos over here: https://theislandergirl.com/category/el-nido/dive-el-nido/ 😀
I’m guessing we all want to join you, sometime soon?
Fabulous!
If you ever end up in my part of the world, look me up! And I’m jealous of your Greece photos btw 😀
