Travel Photo Of The Week: Snake Island Tranquillity

September 17th, 2007 by The Backpackers Team

Snake Island, PhilippinesAnyone for a dip in this beautiful blue ocean? Count us in!

What an awesome photo. We couldn’t help but choose it as our favourite this week from our travel photo pool on Flickr.

It has great composition, inspires a mood of ‘I want to be there (oh why, oh why am I not already there’), and just plain looks summer-holiday tranquil.

Taken on Snake Island in the Philippines, this photo is just one of many phenomenal images captured by Ian Felix Alquiros.
