Lanikai: Davao Photo Diary

This is my first time to visit Mindanao. This is also my last shoot out of town for LISTED this year. I'm glad that a 'first' and a 'last' both happened at quiet Lanikai. 

In Hawaiian, it means "heaven by the sea". Having traced the word's origin, I learned that it came from Ka'ohao, which conveys "tying or joining together". 

I find it a charming metaphor.
