Missing arm on Memorare - Manila 1945 memorial




On my previous entry of the same subject, I used black and white negative film to record the delicate features of the superb artwork by P. de Guzman in Intramuros.

The day I captured it on film was raining.

A year later under the same over cast sky, I came back with a point-and-shoot digicam. And I was horrified to see one of the figures dismembered. A war victim... 62 years later?

Bye, tree




Because the road is getting too narrow for the volume of traffic along the winding Ortigas extention between the Ynares Center and Tikling in Antipolo, this beautiful tree has to give way.

Workers had just cut her down to accomodate the road widening project as well as the pipe laying by the Manila Watef Company.

This strip every summer would come to a lovely display of red blooms because of the abundance of fire trees. As the rainy days come, the flowers had started to fall. And so is this one beautful fiore tree because she's on a wrong spot.
