damgo

damgo is dream in Cebuano
panaginip in Tagalog
mimpi in Indonesian

Camera: Canon EOS 350D Digital
Exposure: 20 sec (20)
Aperture: f/11
Focal Length: 18 mm
ISO Speed: 100

uncropped, contrasted, sharpened

for 20 seconds, these people seemed to be transfixed and immobilized by the processional stream

ventanillas which can be opened for natural airconditioning

It's like a river of molten lava!

I find this to be equally catchy, looks real nice against the exterior

you will be remembered for this picture.everytime I see your name this picture comes to my mind.:-)

I suppose this isn't the popular Mercury Drug Store in the country?

no, it's not the Mercury Drug.

Outstanding

he didnt seem to move a bit

Sometime ago I wished that I can capture a traditional candlelight procession in an old town, viewing the ocean of illuminated faithful on top of a balcony of a century old house. The building across mine must be as old, spewing out rustic details of days of the past. The spot had be at the corner so that the candles will be a stream of curving flickring lines. Thanks to rox?, the dream became a reality last Good Friday.

Ruvee, you're the best!
