...I was working on the laptop on some images, when I looked out at the sunset from my place - it was pretty but simple, and I decided I'd shoot outside after the sun went down.

Jumped on my bike & ventured down the dirt road thinking I'd go up towards Marikaban, when I noticed a small pathway I'd never seen before, cut through the brush off-road on my left...so I motored through, and had to go VERY slowly cause of very big chunks of volcanic rock all over the place.

I was rewarded with seeing a huge piece of land I'd never seen before, where some local fisherman gather - and where there's a small grove of coconut palms on the westside.

Seeing & standing in a grove of any kind of tall palms have always made me feel as though I am standing in the presence of something magnificent.
