Lapsed Time (City): Nov-12 to Feb-13

This blog actually stemmed from my wish to take a photo of the same spot everyday, if only to see how a place can look the same, and yet look different each time. Of course, I started to notice a lot of other beautiful views so I got sidetracked, but I still do this sometimes.

(Pro-tip: Hover over the photos for date info.)











(I've also previously posted photos of this area before.)

Dainty, Feathery Brush Strokes

I learned a word during science class one day, a word I'd adore and remember for the rest of my life. It reminds me of dainty feathers and brush strokes. It pertains to "a genus of atmospheric clouds generally characterized by thin, wispy strands"*.

Cirrus.

Shadow Play

They look like shadow play, but they are just actually silhouettes against a smoky sky.

A Graceful Exit By The Sea

The wind in your hair, the sand beneath your feet, the smell of the ocean on your skin, and the sun making its graceful exit from your sky.

Freak Blue Streak

Because sometimes, Mother Nature just wants to mess with your head.

(But no, seriously. What is with that sudden blue streak? Granted it was raining, but still. Is it paving the bowling lane of the angels in the sky?)

Warm Fuzzy Sunlight

I've got the fuzzies, just looking at that view. Memories wash over me like waves. The sun still shines in the sky, reminding me of the ephemeral memories that will stay long with me - even after the sun sets, after the birthday party.

Yeah, this is a special one, all right.

Breathtaking Sunset

Breathtaking. Taken at the same place I took the one with the flying horse.

A Flying Horse Amidst the Clouds

There's a Pegasus in my sky.

(I took this on the same day I took the one with the Ferris Wheel.)

Afternoon Delight at Antipolo

Great view up here, really. Do you see the city skyline in the distance?

(Taken at a lovely little events place up in Antipolo City, Rizal.)

Sunset at EDSA Pasay

These are among the first few images that actually prompted me to:
1) get to work early (like 730am!) so I can leave early enough to see the sunset, and
2) acknowledge the beauty my vista usually provides.

I took these at EDSA Pasay.

Moonrise at Alabang

I don't own one of those fancy cameras; I make do with my Sony CyberShot. You can imagine my frustration when I can't take proper photos of views / vistas I really like due to the limitations of my camera.

There are, however, times when my camera manages to capture *almost* perfectly, and the photo below is one of those times. I just love how I was able to capture that crescent moon looking over mankind.

(Yes, yes, there seems to be a smudge. I'm not perfect, after all!)

Taken at the parking area of Festival Supermall in Alabang, Muntinlupa.

Afternoon's Rainbow at the NLEX

The development of a rainbow.

We were cruising along the southbound side of the North Luzon Expressway (NLEX), when, looking at the left-hand side of the vehicle, we saw a familiar pattern - a rainbow! As it was pretty sunny out, we were joyed/scared of what the rainbow and its possible implications of rain could be. Happily enough, it was quite dry when we got to out point of destination (that is, Quezon City).

(Probably at Pampanga-Bulacan area by this time.)

Afternoon at Stilts, Batangas

From cloud cover and back again. I took these photos at Stilts, Calatagan, Batangas (lovely little place, really), when the sun was setting while not quite sunset.
