Since I’ve went to Fort San Pedro twice (the first was on my own while my family was waiting at the nearby port for our boat trip to Tagbilaran (Bohol) and the second was with them), I’ve had 2 sets of images – one taken at day time and the other set at nigh time. Thanks to my tripod, I was able to took photos of myself! LOL!
