Ganda ng fifth and last photos. Ang sarap pagmasdan ng mga bata na para bang nakaka-appreciate na ng beauty of nature.
Late afternoon and sunset - always my favorite time of day. I am somehow energized during this time. However I feel kinda gloomy after watching a sunset.
I looked around for your e-mail addy but la ako makita. Anyway, here's my CP#09282357345. I will be in the center until the 17th (April). There will be an Adoptathon 2007 on May 5-6. We'd love to have you around. See you!
As usual the Manila Bay sunset is as majestic as ever and it's the more pleasurable to be watching it nowadays because of the improve and cleanlier sorroundings in Roxas Boulevard.
The sunset here is Zamboanga is also magnificient in its own way; maybe I'll show a picture of it once I got it.
Sunsets do exude romance, don't it, Sidney? There were many lovers as usual cuddling while enjoying the sunset yesterday. You're right, very romantic :)
And it was a family affair yesterday, Toe! Lots of them spending their Easter Sunday at Baywalk and waited for the sunset. It was wonderful to see that many local folks really appreciating one of God's gifts to us Pinoys -- the glorious Manila Bay sunsets!
I'm not exactly sure when I'll make it over there, Greg, but at least now I have your contact number. I had also bookmarked your site, and will most probably leave you a message before heading over your way.
Perhaps, one of these days during your day off, you can dash over to Baywalk and catch a sunset with your camera, Lino. Let me tell you, it's worth the effort :)
That would be an exciting trend to start, Major Tom. Everyone posts a scene of sunset from wherever they are :)
Yes, they are doing an excellent job in cleaning up the area and maintaining it. However, over by the Manila Yatch Club, it is just strewn with many garbage. It's really filthy and smelly by that area.
I was in Manila Bay too. But I spent most of my late Easter Sunday afternoon in Harbour Square waiting for the sunset and preparing to take my night pictures of Manila Bay & Roxas Blvd.
There were a lot of people in Manila Bay waiting for the sunset.
One of these days, Change, I will check out the view from Harbour Square. I've always wanted to, but somehow Baywalk would always be it for me. I need a change of venue :)

Happy Easter!
ReplyDeleteLove the last picture! You are getting romantic, Señor!
Wow! People actually wait for the sunset. And it's a lovely one.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter, Eric.
I'm glad that Manilanyenos haven't lost this wonderful (and free) pastime of waiting for the sunset. Great photos... tells a great story.
ReplyDeleteCamustas, Señor!

Oh my gulay, better not watch a glorious sunset then, Rhoda ... hehehe! Ano ba yan?
ReplyDeleteI'm surprised that there were many children who were anxiously waiting for the sun to set; might have been influenced by their parents :)

And I'm sure, Kyels, you'll have many more chances once again when you come back for another visit :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure what to think/feel about this photos - but they poignantly reflect the general mood in Manila bay - people and nature!
ReplyDeleteHi Jase! Manila sunsets have truly become a major attraction not only to foreign tourists, but to our local folks as well. They really are amazing!
ReplyDeleteThere no shortage of good shots in this place for sure! The last 2 shots are great :)
ReplyDeleteThanks much, BW!
ReplyDeleteHey, trust your Easter Sunday was a good one!
hi Eric,
ReplyDeleteWhile you waited for the sunset, I spent some of my Philippine vacation waiting for sunrise. Nice shots!
hola eric! loved the 1st and last shots =) sarap to be able to sit down along the waterfront and watch the sunset.
ReplyDeletehope u had a nice weekend!
Belle, I've been admiring your vacation shots, but somehow your comment page would never come up for me to post my comments :(
ReplyDeleteI will try again later.
I agree, Sheilamarie, that although it can get crowded at Baywalk, watching the sunset is just so soothing.
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful Easter Holiday as well? Thanks!

ReplyDeletewarm regards,
Scott

ReplyDeleteThanks, Scott! I take it that you have a soft spot in your heart for glorious sunsets :)
ReplyDeleteHi Basey! Kainggit naman 'yan! Ang lapit mo sa Manila Bay :) You're so lucky! Why not get a camera and start collecting shots of Manila Bay sunsets?
ReplyDeleteGlad you like it, Dine! This photo essay is my Easter Sunday gift to all of you :)
