Last December, I gave a photo contest for the members of my family in the Philippines. I wanted photos from my hometown. I knew that my nieces and nephews would be inspired for the photo contest as I told them the amount of the cash prices. It was a kind of Christmas event for them from me. I expected that many would participate but only 3 of my nieces sent photos taken from our hometown.
The photo above is the winner of my photo contest. It is the sunset of my hometown Buenavista, where I used to stroll at the beach when I was there. The photo was taken last Dec.2021. How do you like it?
The 3 contestants received the prices which was doubled because my hubby added money for the kids to be happy. They were of course very happy that they sent me photos of them holding the cash.
Anyway, I hope more will participate for next Christmas as I plan to do it again.
Thank you for reading. It’s time for me to say Goodnight fellow mylotters. See you tomorrow.

It's a nice photo.I suppose this was taken before or after the typhoon. There was a super typhoon in December which affected most part of Mindanao. I was in Carmen Agusan del Norte last December just to see the Christmas lights of their municipal. hall. It's so beautiful.

I think that was taken before the typhoon @florelway. Christmas lights in the municipal hall in Carmen is awesome. I have been there once during Christmas and many people went there, too. I think it is about 20km drive from my hometown Buenavista. Thank you. Have a nice weekend.

Yes, it was a nice idea @JudyEv. I don’t get homesick often compared to when I was new here in Germany. Through Messenger and other social networks, I can talk to my friends and relatives from my home country. I video chat with my siblings every now and then and so it comforted me.

It is indeed a captured gem of a sunset. Thank you @dgobucks226.
That photo is very funny. It reminded me of the British comedian whom I forgot the name.
