This postcard is the second in my seven series of sunrises for Eviang (Sylvia Canete), my very good friend who is undergoing painful chemotherapy now. It is with hope that each sunrise I give her cheers her more today than yesterday, and that she will accept my messages of hope and love. She is such a funny and livewire being, and I can imagine her in the hospital bed still driving the nurses crazy with her antics.
I captured this scene at the top of Cagraray Island. Woke up at 4am to make sure I don't miss the wonderful sunrise. The silhouette of the woman is my friend, Rubi.
POSTSCRIPT Dec 2011: Sadly, Sylvia passed away with the memory of her smile and laughter most remembered by friends.
