Seaside of Tomia Island, Wakatobi

Couple of year ago, I have been published articles showing about the seaside of Tomia Island in Wakatobi. But then, I think I have deleted the posts when I decided to move them to a self-hosted WordPress blog which I am no longer extend its domain.

Today, while thinking about what else to share with you, I stumble upon to my Google Album Archive account and found out that I still got the photographs I took years ago. So, I think that since the images mean a lot to me, then why not sharing them with you.

But first, I ain't an expert in photography but an amateur one. I could be as the other common people taking pictures with their own camera to capture the moment. By that time when I was in Tomia Island and even until today, seaside is always an interesting thing to enjoy and share. And so what you are going to see in this post.

Sadly to say, some images have my own name on them and some don't. So, I apologize if that will be bothering the way you are seeing the images. Here we go!

The wooden shipwreck laying down on the seaside of Tomia Island when the water is shallow and running dry.

How the deep sea looks like in Tomia Island when the weather is bright and without the waves. There is a small building (left) called as Huma in the middle of the ocean built by the fishermen as a place to take a rest while fishing as well as to store and cultivate the fish catches.

Towing another broken boat in the ocean. The boat was actually used by my friends to went out for fishing in another night and its machine was broken while they were miles away from the island. Fortunately, they can still got the phone signal to reached out the people on the land. I took the image when I was standing on the towed broken boat.

Regular view on Tomia Island when the sun is set on the west. When the water is tiding up, you can see one or even some people are still fishing until the dark is coming or going home from fishing with small boat made of wood.

Tomia Island is surrounded by the other nearby islands as well. On a bright day like the above picture, they are pretty much clear showing their own charm. A fisherman boat is also appeared on the foreground and sometimes, the boat itself is also used to pick up the ship passengers that can't be docked on the nearby sea bridge due to wave and low tide.

I was pictured this from my grand parent's house. It was the backyard of my friend's house. Commonly, houses on the beach built using a foundation of stacked stones. So if I will need to make a garden or simply to grow the coconut trees, I will get a pile of soil on the stones.

This will be the sea backyards of how houses on the beach will look like in certain area of Tomia Island. The image was taken at the village of Bahari, Usuku. Small boats were leaned near the house while the water is tiding. If you are staying here, nature have been prepared your own swimming pool.
