Silver & Gold I Have None, But...

"Silver and gold I have none, but what I have I give you."

In this verse Peter and John were faced with a situation where a man, lame from birth, was begging alms outside the temple. Owing to the fact that the two apostles didn't have material wealth, they gave the man something that was not monetary; something far greater than what the man expected, something that only a Being of immense power, creativity, compassion and love can give. They made him walk for the first time in his life.

I was given the awesome wealth of silver and gold in a span of 45 minutes -- a silver and a golden sky in less than an hour. Because I don't have personal wealth to share, in the spirit of the Bible verse above (though not according to it's main context), I share these photos to you. I never tire of looking at these photos. The second photo has been my log-in screen image for the longest time. These were taken a year and a month ago in my father's town of Manito, Albay.

I get to see a beach once or twice a year only and these are not among the famous beaches in the Philippines. Most often than not, I only visit this same place and this same spot, a few minutes walk from our house. Just click the images to enjoy the scene for yourself. You may use the pics if you want. Attribution to this site is enough.
