Corregidor

Last weekend, we were at Corregidor. This is a small, rocky island near Manila and is aptly called "the rock". It served as the headquarters of the Allied Forces (Filipino and American) during World War II. There are thus many remnants of ruined buildings and artillery that now serve as tourist attractions here.
The photo is a view of the island harbor from the top. This shows our group as we were waiting for the sun to rise.

It's been a while since I made a post in this blog. I'm really sorry for that. My only excuse is really - I somehow lost my rhythm when we were affected by typhoon Ondoy. After that, it was so hard to get back to my usual daily activities.
Anyway, I will try to post more often again starting today. I just hope and pray that no more disasters come our way.

Anyway, what I'm sharing today is a photo I took when we were assigned "circles" as a theme for our monthly camera club contest.This just a photo of the tubes of a tissue paper and paper towel plus a few pages of a magazine. Isn't it neat?

more patterns

Here's another pattern. This is not a natural one though. As you can see, it's man made. Still the pattern gives it a more appealing view. Don't you agree?

Just imagine how many crabs and shells were eaten to produce this pattern!

Patterns, Revisited

I simply love patterns. I know I wrote about this before but I keep on going back to more of these. Patterns always give some sense of anticipation. I keep on expecting something and when everything falls into place I get that "aha!" moment.

I love patterns especially when they get interrupted suddenly by some surprise element. This makes the whole thing more interesting and dynamic. Don't you think?

In this photo, I love the sudden shift in color.

I also wrote about patterns in my hubpages site. This time I talk about patterns in nature. Please click on the link below to read about it.

sunset, view from a plane

On my flight back from Kalibo to Manila last weekend, I saw one of the most spectacular sunsets I have ever seen. The colors were simply dazzling and I could not help but take a shot even if I knew that the window glass is rather thick.

What do you think?

discovery

I am sorry I have neglected this blog for a while. I have been rather busy with other things. Then I am leaving for a week again.
I wish to make up for my negligence by sharing with you another photo that I paired with a quote. I hope you like it.
