Travel Dispatch - Boracay, Philippines by Matt Treager

A couple of shots from our first week of travel, both shot at Diniwid Beach on Boracay Island. In the sunset pic you can also see some bats flying through the photo (the specks in the upper half). There is a massive colony of fruit bats that come out every evening as the sun sets, searching for bugs and other foods to eat. It makes for a really cool sunset experience.
