"LANTAW"

The colors of sunrise at Malindig (that's the origin of the Marinduque name).

Lantaw.blogspot.com shows how people react to photographs of sceneries and blogposts to the extent that they have to visit the places depicted therein to fulfill that fleeting desire to 'see and believe', lest the soul would remain restless.

Allan Barredo of Koronadal, South Cotabato is an avid amateur photographer with a passion for the outdoors. His Marinduque photos of Gaspar island, beaches, churches, sunrise and sunsets have inspired others to actually visit this island or make a mental note to visit it one day soon. Comments on his blogsite attest to this.

"Lantaw" is Ilonggo for "view" (of a place or opinion), according to Barredo. View his Marinduque photos at

MARINDUQUE PHOTOS

Non-marinduqueno photographers seem to have a way of looking at this island differently. Interesting sites I have visited recently are the following: Dong Ho's Eskapo http://www.dongism.blogspot.com/ and Tabblo.Com www.tabblo.com/studio/stories/bytag/marinduque with really unbelievably mesmerizing photos. Both seem drawn naturally to the island of Gaspar in Gasan, Marinduque.
