PHILIPPINES ~ Boracay Island ~

... Fantastic sunset view... Boracay is known for its amazing picturesque purple and red sky... this is the time of day when people gather by the shore to witness one of nature’s most beautiful phenomenons... the Philippines most famed island, was closed to the public in 2018 for six months after suffering the effects of overtourism... this "rehabilitation" period was used to restore the island to its former glory and it has since reopened with a limit on the number of daily visitors and a set of rules designed to protect the environment... Thanks a lot Jobbo!!ヽ(ヅ)ノ Glad you found a post office with stamps!👍
