After circling the cabanas and reaching the edge of the island, we saw a sad reality. In stark contrast with the beauty of Island Cove, the river that runs alongside it is unclean, foul-smelling and full of floating trash. I was able to get a snapshot of a little boy on a little boat as he swiftly rowed away:
It was a tiring walk so after some time we decided to go back to our hut and rested for a while. While resting I caught sight of these four plants all in a straight row:
Our next stop is the Animal Island. A giant cannon greeted as as we entered:
Pictures of the animals will be next. See you in the next post!

Island Cove Adventure: A Giant Chess, A Lake & Circular Stuffs
It was a great sunny day and it's very nice to roam around. There was another company also having a teambuilding so we decided to go where there were fewer persons around. We immediately saw the giant chess pieces right outside the entrance to Oceania. Those chess pieces were just screaming to have their pictures taken. Afterwards, we went around some more and saw the edge of the island near the lake and beside the cabanas.
Here are some of the shots that I took during this time:

Island Cove Adventure: Trellises & Creepy Things
Our first stop were the trellises. I like trellises. They have an air of mystery around them. One could just imagine the creepy vines as they weave their way in and around those posts with some even breaking through the concrete. The interweaving shadows that were created as the sunlight hits the parallel wooden bars and the old, rusty wrought-iron lamps added so much to the ambience. The occasional flowers that have sporadically sprung forth gave an overall feeling of loneliness and solitude to the place. And that's what makes it a perfect subject for us shutterbugs.

Island Cove Adventure: Teaser
Last Saturday, we went to our Company Outing at Island Cove in Cavite. We had a great time, not just because of the free food and the R&R but because it was also a great time for photography. Here are some teaser pictures. Complete set in upcoming posts.

Die-Cast Exhibit: Matchbox Cars
Seeing this awesome display of Matchbox cars brought tears to my eyes. As a kid I had a nice collection of Matchbox cars courtesy of my Dad. But as a playful I kid, I played the heck out of those cars (usually in my very own Demolition Derby matches) and those that survived, suffered the same fate through my little brother. So in short, they were now gone. If only I knew then how much they are worth today then I might have displays similar to these.
