Summer!

It's getting increasingly hot and muggy in this part of the world. I think it's safe to say that the Philippine summer is well under way.



There was hardly a cloud in the sky when I took this photo a little after noon today using my cameraphone.

Gorgeous

Love the photos that Flickr has picked for their 3rd anniversary benefit auction from amongst all the folks who contributed their pictures.

I find these two photos particularly lovely (click any image to visit its original Flickr page).

Kinda awakens what little wanderlust there is in my system. hehe.

Handful of Milenyo Photos

Finally had a chance to upload some random shots taken during typhoon Milenyo.

Didn't really take that many, mostly because I was more focused on keeping things running at home while power and phones were out. But I figured I might as well post the few that I have.


Downed power line on Timog Ave.


Still on Timog, from opposite angle.


Several days after the storm, New Manila was cluttered with large trees that had to be cut down to clear debris from the streets


Damage near a Honda dealership at Magallanes.


Same dealership in Magallanes, taken from another angle.

A lot of bloggers have also been posting about their own experiences.
