My World#97 Lamdag Dabaw, the 1st Davao Lights Festival
The 1st Lights Festival (Lamdag Dabaw) was held last December 19, 2010, a Sunday. The day started all rainy and for a while I thought it wouldn't stop. A feeling of worry probably not only felt by me but also by the participants and organizers of the event. Mercifully, the rain slowed to a drizzle in the afternoon and then, stopped minutes before the event started at exactly 6:30 in the evening.
Compared to the more popular Kadayawan festival, a few people waited along the streets inspite of public announcements made by the organizers. I actually liked it because I was able to take photos without too much elbowing from others..hehehe!
This iconic lighted Coke trailer buses always delight me whenever I see them, I don't know why.
What is Filipino Christmas without the parols (native Christmas lanterns)...
The Crocodie Park came in with fire dancers and their snakes.
Because of the rains, some floats were not able to fully maximize the lights they had and worse, some lights actually went pfft...Nonetheless, the event was really a delight and I am looking forward for the next year's event.
More photos coming...

My World#96 Santa Claus Galore!
The house was already full of Christmas decorations even if it was still November when we did the photoshoot. Not that we mind because even if the weather dampened our photoshoot session, the Santa Claus decorations cheered us up. They were really everywhere!
The models' faces were reflected on the glass windows when I took this photo.

Skywatch#57 Moon Over Us
We were too busy taking photographs that time slipped by unnoticed. When I looked up, the skies were already dark and the moon was flitting in and out of the skies.

My World#95 Halloween Has Gone, Here Is Christmas!
Halloween has gone, but this owl stays out in the garden. This stone owl was standing on a flower pot in a corner garden while I was with a group of photographers. We were waiting for the models to finish their make-ups and this cute little owl peeping out among the plants was really cute.
In the meantime, houses even trees are getting decorated with Christmas decorations and Christmas lights. The photo below was taken as the sun was setting. I just love the dark blue tinge of the skies in the background.
Meanwhile, I've already started decorating our house too this weekend. They may be pretty to see but tiring to put up so I'm taking it slow.

This statue of the Filipino Woman is found at the Tail End of Corregidor Island. It is just beside Filipino Heroes Memorial. The statue also faces the memorial parks of Philippine presidents Manuel L. Quezon and Sergio Osmeña.
