manila landscape

looking southwest from the pedestrian bridge from the Mall of Asia, one of the world's largest malls.

i had nothing to do today and was not in the mood for socializing. i was hungry so i took a cab to the mall which is about 25 minutes with the wednesday traffic. went to one of those nice restaurants serving filipino fares and ordered sauteed mustard leaves with shrimp. fortunately it was a small serving but really good cooking, so i ate the whole thing and didn't realize i was that hungry. i brought the camera with me with the purpose of taking shots of the manila bay sunset which i could see from where i sat, as i also checked for the sunset time. they were kind enough to let me use their patio for my photography but i needed to go across the highway to have a non-obstructed view. see the sunset shot here: http://365project.org/summerfield/365-again/2016-02-10

chose this for the small details that came out with the black and white shot. i didn't check my histogram or settings from my excitement.

thank you for your kind views and comments; know that they are really appreciated.

I like the view that shows the traffic and the trees but I liked the color one too!

@altadc - unbelievably yes. but on the east side of the mall is an entirely different animal. :-)

I like this on black. What is that tripod looking thingy near center? Is that how billboards are elevated there?

HIIIIIIIIIIII! remember me? I love this pic. I have been offline for a long time, but still taking pics. They just emailed me threat of deletion of my account, so I figured I'd better at least start LOOKING at pics again!
