Album Description:
In October 2010, a college classmate & I spent 3 nature-filled glorious days in Puerto Princesa, Palawan. Just what I needed to momentarily escape from city life & stress of office work! This album highlights our rainy 1st day.

Yes, Dave, he grows them on a cut dried wooden pole (usually a hard wood that can withstand rot) planted firmly in the ground. Now to help spread out the plants once they reach the top of the pole, used bicycle or motorcyle tires are anchored firmly on the top from where the plant can start cascading their limbs downward so that fruits can be easily harvested.

I just planted some dragon fruit. In your photos I can not see what Bob is growing them on. Is is a pole?

Oh what a treat it was to visit your Palawan island album. The island paradise is so pristine! I can sit on the beach forever and probably watch the beautiful sunrise / sunset everyday! I also noticed the dragon fruit that I first saw in a Vietnamese store! I might give that a try and see how it tastes. The Iwahig prison looks like a vacation resort rather than a penal colony. You are a master when it comes to photography, my friend. You always find the right spot to take the pictures from. I visit often to learn some techniques as far as composition / color is concerned. Many thanks and God bless you, Mary Ann!
