i loooooooooove your pictures,, makes me think of the olden times. and i especially like the 6th one, where the sunlight is reflected on the surface of the river. ^^
ReplyDeletewhat's up in the fourth pic? is that like the station for the calesas?
Thanks, Carla!
ReplyDeleteBoth pictures you picked out were taken from the northwest bank of the bridge, though on different days.
I, too, was very much suprised to have seen so many calesas that day parked on that side of the street -- a sight I've never seen before. This part of the bridge also happens to be a favorite spot for kids who enjoy taking a dip at the Pasig River, especially during the hot days.
Wow! Ang galing! Eric, idol na talaga kita! Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures! And in B & W! I'm speechless!
Pictures in black and white are one of a kind, especially when it comes to places around Manila! Great shots, as always! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, as usual! I was recently afforded a new perspective of Jones Bridge during a Binondo tour with Carlos Celdran. It was nice seeing the post office from across the river like that. And actually going under Jones bridge for the first time ever. :)
ReplyDeleteSobra naman ang accolade na yan, Rhoda, hehehe! Kahiya! But Very much appreciated, especially coming from you kasi you were once an editor and now a photo entusiast, too :)
ReplyDeleteMany thanks, Lar. I have yet many more subjects to photograph within Manila alone, but I think I will allocate the weekends for doing so.
ReplyDeleteHi Christine! When I took the North Bank tour with Carlos, it was so sunny and hot out that he probably thought it was best not to take us to the other side of the bridge. We wend to the museum at the Calvo Building and led us on the shady side of the street.
ReplyDeleteEric, this is nostalgic for me. I remember always requesting my lola's driver to "please pass through Jones Bridge" and nagging him about it even if we were going somewhere not near Jones Bridge. :)
ReplyDeleteIf these pictures brought a smile to your face, Bugsy, then I had done a good job with this photo essay :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice crisp b&w pictures, Eric!
ReplyDeleteSoon you can add the "pro" to your name!
elow eric,
ReplyDeletenice black and white pics...reminds me of that Hotdog song "Manila, Manila i keep coming back to manila"....dumaan lang po at nagparamdam.
I love the BW photos!
ReplyDelete(:
The more you show 'em photos, the more you are making me miss my vacation in Pinas last year ...
Many thanks for your encouragement, Sidney, but I still have quite a way to go :)
ReplyDeleteHi Basey! Salamat naman sa pagdaan mo. Hope everything is fine with you and that you're enjoying life and work :) Ingat!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kyels! I've a feeling you'll be back soon for a visit ... hehehe.
ReplyDeleteLove the First shot and the Calesa shot !
ReplyDeleteDon't forget to capture the vibrant color of manila as well :)
Love the shots! Especially the one with line up of tricycles ba yon? Siguro lang dahil miss ko nang sumakay sa tricycle. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks, S.A.!
ReplyDeleteWait for the upcoming entry -- in vibrant color -- promise!
Thanks, Irene! Maybe the old country is beckoning you to come home for a quick visit, eh?
ReplyDeleteI'm coming back again this year; hopefully with one condition --- if everything goes well!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited, I know it's far too early, di ba?
I've a feeling you'll do well, Kyels, and will be back for another fun-filled vacation in Pinas!

ReplyDeleteForwarded your blog address too to Carlos Celdran (www.celdrantours.blogspot.com).

A must read, indeed!
Hola Eric! Lovely pictures, as always :0)
ReplyDeleteHi Sheilamarie! How are you? Are you back in Nigeria now? Trust you and the entire family had a wonderful vacation here at home!
ReplyDeleteHola Eric, yes we are back in Nigria now *sniff!*. hubby had to drag my back to the airplane tho :D
ReplyDeleteAnd we indeed had a great time back at home :D we did nothing but make pasyal (hubby with his travel fever!). unfortunately we didn't have time to join the celdran tours. next time around we will.
looking forward to our next vacation!
Glad to hear you guys had a wonderful vacation! Not to worry, there's still a next time; can't do them all in one shot, as they say :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed looking at all your vacation pics in your site!
Again, a very nice photo blog! Thanks
ReplyDeleteGlad you like this photo essay, ReyD :)
ReplyDeleteHello Senor Enrique
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Amazing really! I've been a regular reader of yours now (well, since my last Manila visit in Dec06-Jan07. I actually found your blog via Carlos Celdran's (having attended one of his tours!). Your blog is just what I need to feel 'in touch' with Manila - having grown up in San Andres & Malate.
How come my holiday snaps didn't turn out anything like yours?? A trip to Manila isn't complete for me without visiting Quiapo, Divisoria etc..
Hi Gracing!
ReplyDeleteDid you see the feature I did on San Andres? I was there one afternoon during Canon's Shoot & Run event, and my friend and I took the opportunity to venture into San Andres. It was fun!
Why? What happened to your shots? Have you posted any on your site? I'll visit in a bit. Yes ... without Divisoria and Quiapo, a Manila balikbayan trip doesn't seem complete.
Thanks, Gracing :)
