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.

Bohol: St. Agustine Church of Panglao Island

I'm a little late for Monochrome Weekly, but the saying goes better late than never right? So here it is, one of the oldest churches in Bohol, Philippines, The Panglao Church or the Saint Augustine Church.

According to history Rev. Fr. Valentin Utande started building the church in 1894 until 1897 but was put to stop because of his transfer to other Parish. In1898 the construction was continued by 2 Spanish Priests but was abandoned when the Filipino-Spanish revolution begun.

In 1912 through the help of church leaders, reidents of Panglao with Rev. Fr. Emiliano Veloso as Parish Priest the construction has continued and in 1924 even the church was still unfinished an inuaguration was held on August 31, 1924.


Saint Augustine Church is located on the southwestern side of Panglao Island just 18 kilometers away from Tagbilaran City, Bohol's Capital City.

A Lamp Post

A lamp will light our way when in darkness...

I took this photo last Monday while passing Ditucalan Bridge, I found it to be a good subject to point my lens at i hope you do agree, because it has a bonus a "power transmission tower/lines", the electricity carrier that delivers electricity to light our home, our community.

And this lamp post is his witness.
