Intensely social and inspiring to watch some seagulls, egrets and king fishers, all fish-eating -birds making a dive racing downward and dipping their bills to catch a fish. For the birds eating fish, Manila Bay is a good and wide feeding ground here in the city proper. I’m just wondering, where is their nesting site?
I’m not only a bird watcher, I’m here to take snapshots for the water birds but clouds getting thicker and dark clouds filled the blue sky as afternoon rain is about to come in minutes. I can smell the bay water, the blizzard sound of wave as the wind blew cold. It was almost like a night as thunder roared so load came with the rain. If only I can fly and wheel like a bird, would be joining the group diving and enjoying the rain..
The monument was constructed made of bronze and granite (1912) by Swiss Sculptor Richard Kissling. The Philippine National Hero Monument is the most photographed and visited monument. Taken at Rizal Park, Luneta Manila August 1,2016.
Dr. Jose Rizal Monument 1913
From the best viewpoint must be at frontal view but I’ve spotted something unpleasant upon taking few snapshots, the building behind the monument at the right side (Torre De Manila) is completely ruining the landmark itself. To compare 2 photos taken at the same scene and the same subject. Of course I want it to come out at its best to achieve a good result.
Check the photos from above and below, you can spot the difference . My problem here is on how to hide the building behind it? Nevermind about some amount of controversy about the construction of the building, it was already there. Here’s I’m pointing the best location and convenient position to get a good viewpoint, different position at the same scene.
From the first photo above, thriving on such photography challenge, I’ve avoided to snap it in front, getting to the right side with a bit distance will give a good result even though taken at dusk and you can see the black clouds at the background.
To get the precise effect I’ve been looking for, sooner, I get back to the same location at different time of the day to shoot again. Whew ! Right time of the day simply offers more stunning scenes and photographic opportunities.
Following a successful progress and development, it is a home of exclusive lifestyles. For many years now or decades have been the favorite vacation destination, the cool climate and from the distance overlooking the high mountains and vast vegetation is always a hazy horizon. If you live in this area, distinctive cultural and peaceful life will begin to prosper.
I took this photo from a shelter of Innova to keep myself cool from hot day. Fresh looking greenery makes the scene landscape spectacular from a distance. The beautiful slopes leading the eyes down to the white house and direction of natural light at the left side. Peaceful- lonely mood with subtle beauty to feel inside…
Incredible structures to present the works of art, architecture, and engineering, it is the tower that symbolizes the city,the iconic Taipei 101 is a beautiful skyscraper with a total height record of 508 meters that ranks the world’s tallest building from 2004-2010. It is also the world’s tallest floor at 438 meters and the world’s tallest roof at 448 meters. Observatory elevators holds the Guinness world Records as the World’s fastest passenger elevator. Taipei 101 mall attracts millions of tourist every year.
I have come to appreciate everything here, all the incredible structures. Indeed, the consistent effort to present the works of art and engineering which is more technically and technologically advanced. We’ve seen the big progress and development globally.
Humans aim high attracting international attention for the title “World’s tallest building” to gain prestige and recognition. My feelings widened with excitement along great things. In this century which is global in perspective, It’s getting more updated, fast growing and competition is still going on, more tall buildings and great structural forms are getting better and taller. If you remember the Great Pyramid of Egypt at Giza holds the longest for 3,500 years until the next construction of another. World title started from tall,taller to the tallest. Presently holding the title, Burj Khalifa of Dubai as the ‘’World’s tallest skyscraper.’’ More skyscrapers has been and would be completed in the coming years to come..According to my reference, Jeddah Tower (167 Floors) will be the future next is still under construction so with the Merdeka PNB 118 of Kuala Lumpur,Malaysia (118 Floors)is now under construction, Dubai One (with 161 Floors) Is it practical to do this kind of expensive construction? Is it fruitful or wasteful?
Taipei 101, the irregular bamboo shaped building ranks #8 as as one of tallest building in the world as of 2016.

The peaceful attraction which is truly appreciated and accessible from all points along the ricefield.The light flashings of yellow, deep red and orange is vibrant and powerful that changes its colors every moment. It all happens when we passed by an area along the way going for an early dinner to the nearest restaurant nearby,we accidentally went to the wrong way,I guess,wrong lead of direction. When I saw the sundown,I immediately stopped for a brief moment to to capture the power of nature. sunset photo I took during our summer visit in Pagsanjan,Laguna.
This sunset photo is truly simple and unique compared to the rest that was published earlier. In here, you can see how spacious the surroundings and the greenery around. In addition, the birds and farm animals around added more attractions to the subject.
