Skywatch#6 Skycrapers of Pudong, Shanghai

It was a foggy night when we ventured along Huangpo River in Shanghai, China. There was a slight drizzle as we took pictures of the Pudong skycrapers across the river. The sky took on an opaque-pinkish glow from the skycrapers' lights and the fog that covered the city.

My World#46 Philippine's All Soul's Day

If Westerners celebrate Halloween with trick or treats and parties, Filipinos do it by visiting the graves of their dead loved ones. Known more as "Undas", the Philippine tradition of visiting the cemeteries, offering food, flowers and prayers and lighting up candles on the graves start as early as October 31.

Days prior to All Soul's Day, which is on the 1st of November, people would start to clean, and even put on some new paint on the graves of their dead loved ones. Police presence in the cemeteries gets beefed up. Visiting usually starts on the October 31st that would last until November 2nd. Some people have tents and would stay for a day or two at the cemeteries. Some families use these particular days as their reunion days with other family members and it is not uncommon to see some parties going on right there at the cemetery. However, the more solemn aspect of offering prayers and candles are never absent on these days.

Skywatch#5 Philippine Churches Part 3: Betis Church, Pampanga

This is the facade of Betis Chuch, Pampanga. The facade has simple lines and bore the years of antiquity of the church. It also belies the beauty of the interior of the church which is called the Sistine Chapel of the Philippines.

The picture was taken at almost 6:00 in the evening. The skies were still blue even if the sun was starting to set at that time.

My World#45 Philippine Churches Part 3: Sistine Chapel of the Philippines

If you are planning to visit churches somewhere in Luzon, make sure to visit Betis Church at Guagua, Pampanga. The church's facade may not look as impressive as its contemporaries, but the interiors of the church more than made up for it. Its wood-carved doors are already precursors of what inside, see the door here.

Betis Church is considered the Sistine Chapel of the Philippines. It is located about an hour ride from Manila and the trip is all worth it.

Skywatch#4 Dolphins In Hongkong

It was a cold, drizzling day when we decided to buy a ticket for Macau in Shun Tak Centre, Hongkong. Before getting inside to get our tickets, we decided to take some pictures at the back of the building. We found these dolphins with an ongoing building construction with a hole in the centre as the dolphin's backdrop and some foggy skies.
