<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a guest post from TravelTours.in.<br /><br /><br />Palawan happens to be the largest island of Philippines and considered to be the most beautiful one in the world making it an integral part of <a href="http://www.traveltours.in/traveltours/international-holidays/04-n-manila-boho" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Philippines tourism</a>. Although it is not yet touted as the most desirable tourist destination, its popularity is slowly and gradually on the rise. The ideal time to pay this island a visit is between October and May and is an hour and a half away from Manila by air. <br /><br />It has picturesque sandy beaches with emerald green water, green lush mountains which have their bases in the water and small fishing villages spread across the island. However, the biggest reason for visiting this island is to see the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a Unesco World Heritage Site, which is now considered to be one of the world’s seven best natural wonders. The reason why it has been declared a wonder is because of the vast limestone and karst deposits found in the complex cave catacomb surrounding the river. A Miocene age fossil was also discovered in the cave system which added to its wonderment. Tourists can enjoy this wonder of the world by kayaking into the caves and enjoying the sights of crystal and limestone formations. Without a <a href="http://www.traveltours.in/traveltours/international-holidays/04-n-manila-puerto-princesa" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">tour of Puerto Princesa</a>, any Philippines holiday is incomplete.<br /><br />Besides this main activity, Palawan Island is also famous for deep sea diving. One of the key attractions is to dive from the Coron Bay. It is considered to be the best site for diving because of the high water visibility of about 20 meters and the beautiful rock formations and wrecks which can be seen, while snorkeling. Diving at Tubbataha Reefs also makes up for an interesting experience as it is one of the most beautiful coral reefs in the region and has an extensive marine life for the viewing of the tourists.<br /><br />Exploring El Nido Marine Reserve is also a day’s activity at Palawan Island. It is the country’s largest wildlife preservation site and consists of rainforests, sandy beaches, coral reefs, and cliffs with limestone deposits. Visiting the Honday Bay also gives the chance to further interact with the aquatic wildlife. There are islets surrounding this bay, which makes it an ideal spot for swimming and snorkeling. The experience is worthwhile primarily because of the great visibility that the clear water offers, allowing the visitor to see and truly appreciate the ocean depth.If you are tired of exploring the water life that Palawan Island has to offer, tourists can always take a day or two to see some of the key landmarks. One such landmark is the Plaza Cuartel, which is a ruin that has been restored to commemorate the memories of the soldiers who lost their lives during World War II. Palawan also boasts of having a Crocodile Farm, which has been developed to further the cause of conserving wildlife. Religious monuments like Immaculate Concepcion Cathedral are also famous because of their architectural uniqueness and warrant a definite visit. <br /><br />Despite not being one of the most popular tourist destinations, a number of luxury hotels are available which give a five star treatment to their guests. Delicious cuisines and all world-class facilities are easily available on the island to make the travel experience, truly magical.<br /><br /><br />If you happen to have visited this destination, do leave your views and memories in the comments below. <br /><br /><br /><a class="addthis_button" href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php?v=250&username=rohitsareen" target="blank"><img alt="Bookmark and Share" height="16" src="http://s7.addthis.com/static/btn/v2/lg-share-en.gif" style="border: 0;" width="125" /></a><br /><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I had absolutely fallen in love with the landscapes of Lavasa. The main reason being the various vantage points while getting to and moving around Lavasa. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So the series continues with a few more shots of the valley and mountains. The flowing river and dramatic clouds add to the dynamism of the landscape, to which, I hope I've done some justice.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Pawna Lake, alternatively spelt as Pawana, Pavana, Pavna is located on a slightly off-beat route from Lonavla towards Paud. The lake is because of the Pawna Dam, which acts as a reservoir and hydro plant. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">En route to Lavasa, we stopped by for bhutta (corn cob). At the shop accompanying his father, was a little village boy Bala. His innocence stood out and we took out a Minion, I think, from the car's dash and handed it over to him. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After a long hiatus, I return for Project 365, where either I'll upload or take a photo each day. So, we restart from where we left, Lavasa, a beautiful hill station nestled in Maharashtra. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here are three shots of the Lavasa Waterfront, which is the promenade, around the twilight hour. Let's have your pick off the three shots. </span><br />

serene. It could be nature, landscape, critters, children; absolutely
anything.</div>

Based on the voting, we'll have a 'Featured Photo of the Week' in the following week's challenge.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
In addition, you
can still participate if you don't have a photo that qualifies for
symbolising 'calm and serene', but then it cannot qualify for being the
featured photo, even if it gets the most votes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">

Ouch! My sincere apologies to everyone at Saturday Sareenity for an unsaid week long (actually two) break and not being able to participate myself. Work's been chaotic, but good, which is satisfying! Sometimes, passions and hobbies take a back seat, don't they? <br />
<br />
So, without wasting anymore time, welcome to Saturday Sareenity; a weekly meme where you can submit any photo that you think symbolises something calm and
serene. It could be nature, landscape, critters, children; absolutely
anything.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Based on the voting, we'll have a 'Featured Photo of the Week' in the following week's challenge.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
In addition, you
can still participate if you don't have a photo that qualifies for
symbolising 'calm and serene', but then it cannot qualify for being the
featured photo, even if it gets the most votes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
And yes, please do link back to <a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Third Eye</a> or <a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/search/label/Saturday%20Sareenity" target="_blank">Saturday Sareenity</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
This week, well I was simply shoddy not being able to drop by or conduct! So, without much delay, the winner from last week is <a href="http://frumarit.blogspot.in/2012/02/skjell.html" target="_blank">Marit's - Skjell</a>, which I'm guessing means shells.<br />

Welcome to Saturday Sareenity, a weekly meme where you can submit any photo that you think symbolises something calm and
serene. It could be nature, landscape, critters, children; absolutely
anything.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Based on the voting, we'll have a 'Featured Photo of the Week' in the following week's challenge.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
In addition, you
can still participate if you don't have a photo that qualifies for
symbolising 'calm and serene', but then it cannot qualify for being the
featured photo, even if it gets the most votes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
And yes, please do link back to <a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Third Eye</a> or <a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/search/label/Saturday%20Sareenity" target="_blank">Saturday Sareenity</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
This week was great - the quality of photos coming in were absolutely breathtaking. There were at least 5-6 shots that I absolutely fell in love with and could easily by classified as stunning by all means! And the others too were lovely and serene in their own right.<br />
<br />
This meant that voting was very tough; even I had a very had time picking and casting three votes. But the good part was that as many as 11 entries got voted, which means that not only was voting turnout good but also that it was really hard to choose a favourite; we all have our preferences given the mood we are in don't we? <br />
<br />
Anyways, without much ado, the winner from last week is <a href="http://ladyfi.wordpress.com/2012/02/09/frozen-lilac/" target="_blank">LadyFi's - Frozen Lilac</a>.</div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I do have a little question; how does everyone prefer voting? Do you prefer voting for just one entry or are happy to vote for 3? Or would you like to vote for 5 entries and want to see the top 3 featured? I'd appreciate your feedback on this. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">And now for this week's challenge. </span><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
For those who are new, here are a few simple rules to play by:</div>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Do link the permalink of the blog post that you're submitting and not you're blog URL</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Please do try visit fellow participants; should help in discovering other good photography blogs and in learning</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You can submit your entries Fri-Tue and then come back to vote Tue-Thus </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It would be nice if you could follow</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">By contributing to the meme, you give me permission to use the submitted photo on my site and even feature it if its the top pick of the week</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You must link up to </span><a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" target="_blank">My Third Eye</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> or </span><a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/search/label/Saturday%20Sareenity" style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;" target="_blank">Saturday Sareenity</a><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"> for others to join and I'd appreciate it if you can add the button</span></li>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
Welcome to Saturday Sareenity, a weekly meme where you can submit any photo that you think symbolises something calm and
serene. It could be nature, landscape, critters, children; absolutely
anything.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Based on the voting, we'll have a 'Featured Photo of the Week' in the following week's challenge.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
In addition, you
can still participate if you don't have a photo that qualifies for
symbolising 'calm and serene', but then it cannot qualify for being the
featured photo, even if it gets the most votes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
And yes, please do link back to <a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Third Eye</a> or <a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/search/label/Saturday%20Sareenity" target="_blank">Saturday Sareenity</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
It is very encouraging to see such great participation over the past couple of weeks. There were just too many great entries this week and I thought the voting will go right down to the wire! This week though, for a change, there are no ties - we have a clear winner in <a href="http://turningboholano.blogspot.in/2012/02/stardust.html" target="_blank">Tito Eric's - Stardust</a>. </div>

<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The 2012 Calendars </span></i><br />
<br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hey, I've been struggling managing time with work and blogs, even photography. The London series is near completion with just a few more bits from the museum and then I wanted to take a break from travel shots. But I just haven't managed to go out enough to get some other good shots, despite getting some new camera kit. </span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In the meanwhile, I thought I'll use Saru's idea - I've create two calendars for 2012 with very little markups. Just in case you're interested, please check them and feel free to forward it to someone who you think might me interested. Also, I'd love to hear your feedback on them. You can even e-mail me on sareenityphotos@gmail.com.</span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></i><br />
<i><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Cheers and hope to be regular with posts and visits!</span></i><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif; text-align: left;">
My sincere apologies on the delay this week. I've been occupied with work, erratic with blogging and very slow to respond to comments and visit back. Apologies again and please bear with me; I hope to respond and drop by to see your work soon.<br />
<br />
Though rest assured, I'll visit all participants on Saturday Sareenity!<br />
<br />
So, welcome to Saturday Sareenity, a weekly meme where you can submit any photo that you think symbolises something calm and
serene. It could be nature, landscape, critters, children; absolutely
anything.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
Based on the voting, we'll have a 'Featured Photo of the Week' in the following week's challenge.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
In addition, you
can still participate if you don't have a photo that qualifies for
symbolising 'calm and serene', but then it cannot qualify for being the
featured photo, even if it gets the most votes.</div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
And yes, please do link back to <a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">My Third Eye</a> or <a href="http://3rdeyelens.blogspot.com/search/label/Saturday%20Sareenity" target="_blank">Saturday Sareenity</a>.<br />
<br />
<br />
I'm delighted to know that this meme is getting popular and there have been some great participation over the past couple of weeks. This week we had a three way tie between <a href="http://sivinden.blogspot.in/2012/01/linjer.html" target="_blank">Sivinden</a>, <a href="http://frumarit.blogspot.in/2012/01/morgenstemning.html" target="_blank">Marit</a> and <a href="http://piecesofcontentment.blogspot.in/2012/01/discoveries.html" target="_blank">Pieces of Sunshine</a>. Each of these for me are winners this week - the serenity and wonderful reflections is Sivinden's shot Linjer, the wonderful colours of morning and snow in Marit's shot Morgenstemning and the beautifully documented shots of cocoon to butterfly in Pieces of Sunshine's shot Discovery.<br />
<br />
However, I'll still have the hard task of having the Featured Photo of the week. And this week's pick, because we have three winners, from last week's challenge; is Marit's entry - <a href="http://frumarit.blogspot.in/2012/01/morgenstemning.html" target="_blank">Morgenstemning</a>. </div>
