The white house looks like it's covered with icing sugar or marzipan..good enough to eat :tongue_roll:

The weather is hot and dry in summer. For my two-week stay there in July, the sky was clear and blue everyday. No polariser was used in all the shots.

The robot figure built from recycled materials is just so cute!

The adorning red bougainvillea on the whitewashed wall forms a very good foreground for the white subject behind.

The church is overlooking the sea.

A closer look at the light and shadow areas. Although the subject is in a single white colour, the side-lighting brings out the forms of the subject.

An even closer look at the church under back-lighting.
