July 29 Bohol pics

[Gilligan]

Of all the photos I have taken during my travels in the Philippines these are my current favorites. All the men helping to move this house are unpaid volunteers. This activity is called "bayanihan" in the Visayan language. There are two women kneeling and praying inside the house while it is being carried.

I uploaded a video to my YouTube site:

Great set of pictures! The underwater view of the bangka in the clear water is my favorite. Looks like you managed to close to the napoleon wrasse to get the shot, nice.
Those last two are interesting...I would be a bit uncomfortable to be under that house while helping carry it

Wow, napolean wrasse!
