Poolside

This shot actually was supposed to include a sunset at the background, unfortunately it was a very rainy weekend when I was there last month. This shot was taken using my old Nokia N70 at the poolside of Thunderbird Resorts - Rizal. This resort is overlooking Laguna de Bay and what a spectacular view. Being a nature person, I enjoyed the view and the enjoyed the relaxing effect of the whole scenery. It brought to mind the days when I used to go trekking and mountain climbing. One of my last climbs was at Mt. Sembrano overlooking Laguna de Bay sometime in the late 90's.

The Moon


A simple shot of the moon I took thru a telescope while in a beach house somewhere in Batangas. I really can't describe what I feel when I see the moon this close. I just smile and thank God for giving us a wonderful world to live in.

Speaking of which, this was something I always wanted for myself, a telescope to look at the stars. Believe it or not, I remember that I wanted to be an astronaut when I was younger. Maybe not anymore. Anyway, I got close to being an astronaut...I got to tour Kennedy Space Center in Texas way back in high school.
