The Wandering Leon

According to Digital Photography School , there are 20 travel photography subjects that must be captured by any traveler, so here are some of the photos (all from a point and shoot camera) I took from my recent tour of Batanes with fellow bloggers who won in SEAIR's contest. 1. Water Taken from the Chawa Viewdeck in Mahatao The Fountain of Youthh in Diura 2. Old People Lola sa Bintana (Old lady by the window in Chavayan, Sabtang Island) 3. Young People Children biking in Uyugan Kid along the beach in Sabtang Port  4. Religion Mahatao Church The Ten Commandments in Ivatan 5. Sports How many balls are in this picture? 6. Socializing Journeying James' drinking session with the Ivatans Sabong (Cockfight in Diura Fishing Village)  7. Icons The house where Iza Calzado's movie "Batanes" was shot The Honesy Coffee Shop in Ivana 8. Rich and 9. Poor (sorry I was not able to take pictures of rich or poor people, or ...

I was browsing through old photos in the house last night (old-fashioned browsing: hard bound photo albums) when I saw a picture of my mother back in the '70's. She was with her friend (sorry, forgot to ask the name) in front of the old big globe in Rizal Park. I remember seeing that globe when I was a kid back in the late '80's (now your getting clues to my age), it was as awesome looking as it is in the picture but it was still a sight to behold. There was the old skating rink around it and many park goers would have their picture taken in front of the humongous globe. Of course the globe and the skating rink are both gone and has been replaced by the statue of Lapu-Lapu (the hero of Mactan). After seeing the two photos, no offense to Lapu-Lapu, I kinda wish that the globe is still there. This is the Wandering Lion signing off. Peace.
