Sea view of Linapacan village: colorful stilt houses at the foot of a lush tropical hill.

A stilt village stretches along the coast of Linapacan, a still lightly touristed archipelago in Palawan province, Philippines. The wooden houses sit directly above the water, a traditional architecture adapted to the tides and to subsistence fishing. Aerial drone view (7 mm, f/1.8), shot in full tropical light to capture the transparency of the shallow water surrounding the houses, revealing the sandy shallows typical of the lagoon.
