Corpus Christi Church in B&W

It's nice to be back in weekend black and white, the last time I remember was posting for weekly monochrome I believe this is the same meme, hope I'm right. I really missed posting photos in black and white. Now I'm back I hope I can continue doing this in weekends to come.

This is Corpus Christi Parish Church in Iligan City Philippines. This is where I got married in 2008 and just last Saturday my son was baptized in this church also.

More Black & White Photos here.

Life's Obstacles

For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin--real life. 

But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. 

Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life.

A Monochrome Sunset

This is a happy Saturday for me because I was featured again on Monochrome Weekend Wall. Yipppeee! Thanks Aileni for choosing my last week's entry.

Today I've converted a lovely sunset shot into a monochrome scene let us see how it looks like...


hmmm what do you think??

Paul Bowles:

... we get to think of life as an inexhaustible well. Yet everything happens only a certain number of times, and a very small number, really. How many more times will you remember a certain afternoon of your childhood, some afternoon that's so deeply a part of your being that you can't even conceive of your life without it? Perhaps four or five times more. perhaps not even that. How many more times will you watch the full moon rise? Perhaps twenty. And yet it all seems limitless.

This will also be my Scenic Sunday entry...


Enjoy!

A Lonely Tree

The trees are God's great alphabet:
With them He writes in shining green
Across the world His thoughts serene.

And There was Lights

Joy requires one to be awake,
Adjusting the heart's ambience to bright.
Some prefer the dark, as is their right,
On grounds of agony, and to forsake
Not only bliss, but all that's blessed by light.
~Nicholas Gordon~

This is a group of incandescent lights at the ceiling of Marco Hotel in Cagayan de Oro City.

Monochrome Entry # 1 - Lady Duck

While doing my blog walking I discovered another photo theme that interest me that is the Monochrome Weekly Theme. I explored the site and seen so many beautifully shot monochromes, so I decided to join the fun and share mine photos too.

So as my first entry, here is a lady duck enjoying the fresh scent of the lake. This photo was taken near our home in Zamboanga City. I was familiarizing my camera then and luckily got this shot. I did some experiments on the picture and as a result a very charming monochrome, my first ever monochrome photo.

Hope you like it too...
Have a great week!
