Manila, Manila

     From a window in the National Museum of the Philippines...

  Teodoro F. Valencia circle in Rizal Park.  A 40-foot statue of Lapu-lapu stands in the center.  I have just learned something today: 

This statue is moving to Cebu?

Sunday Sunset

Not an outstanding photo, but please do not use and claim as your own. I can hunt you down and I will.

    
     This is a bittern, in Nuvali's man-made lake.  I have a few more photos but for some reason Blogger says there is an invalid response from the server, and my photos aren't uploading.  I am surprised this one came through.

     The sun shone golden last Sunday, and families were on the grass in most parts of the place until sundown.   Luneta, Luneta, Luneta.  As the kid ran around, I reminisced...our early '70s walking to the Cultural Center of the Philippines (CCP) from Taft Ave. on Sunday mornings. "Pasyal", lola said.  She packed a "Thermos" (remember those tall ones with the red-checkered design) and sandwiches. 

      I'll try to upload the pink and blue twilight sky pic.
