I would not live in that apartment on general principles, just because of the butterfly and heart motif on the security grills.

Let me see if I can find a shot of one of the local metal shops. They can bend/weld/paint bars as seen on the apartment into many different shapes. Possibly even a handgun.

A freshly ripped heart with a hand holding it might be tough though.

I didnt have time to look for the images now. I've got a major disaster to deal with. The CDs are right on the desk when I get the time to search through them.

What in the monkey f**K is a hello kitty?

This link was just sent to me. They show pictures of the rice terraces known as banaue.

Take a look. Some great images here.

The work disasters continue to mount so I've not been looking for the reference photos described previously.

I've put the word out for more links and personal photos of the Philippines and would expect to add more here now and then.

They probably arent going to be of the thread title, Makati, but if you like these you'll most likely enjoy the others.

Physical security with the side effect of trapping the protected isn't my style.

Even if HelloKitty is involved.

It's a genuine challenge for both the photographer and for me in getting their skills up to speed, many of whom have never taken pictures before even with film cameras, let alone a digital. The camera itself is just a cheapie and has specific limits and weaknesses. It took a lot of trial and error for me to be able to get good photos out of this model camera. Having exactly the same style and model here with me that was sent, I was able to immediately spot technical fixes for symptoms seen in the images coming in.

It's also true that some people just have a knack for taking good photos while others do not.

Anyway, these are from the Philippines. There are more available here than you would ever care to see but I thought you might appreciate these.

My moms from Manila.

Manila proper or NCR?

Have you been there to visit? Do you have digital photos of anything Filipino?

Slang: So, have you ever seen snow fall from the sky?
Pinang: No but I'd like to. It's very pretty
Slang: Trust me, it's over-rated.

We're staring down a potential foot or so over the next several hours... ya'll could fly in.

We just missed it. It's a cold raw rain here. Yucky, but at least it's not snow.

The Occoquan river runs behind my house. It's raging today.
