Nov 13 Sawmill Scenic



Tokyo - well done Elaine, Joani, Jim, Mike, Peyton, and Tony.


"Sawmill Scenic"




Shoot Thirty!! 
About fifteen photo buffs took the opportunity to get out and shoot The Sawmill - a nineteen acre reclaimed former industrial lumber yard in Acushnet. There is a half-mile trail around part of the property.

It was not the best time of the year for landscape photography. Here I did like the clouds and their interaction with the ground cover.

However, someone did mention a bonus location just down the street - see you there. . .




Where in the World?

Better get out the atlas as this year I will be featuring some of the more famous cities of the world! Here are some interesting facts about one of them. Just what city would I be visiting? 

there are secret tunnels underneath the city. They run under the Makati City and the Global City in Taguig and go 3.5 meters deep underground.

construction of the tunnel started in 1900. At the beginning it served to help transport food, medicine and other military supplies. During World War II it served as a hiding spot for Japanese officials.

Restaurant called “Hobbit House is entirely staffed by “little people!”

was originally named Ginto, which means the Land of the Gold.

Zoo and Botanical Garden receives millions of visitors every year and is home to more than 800 animals from nearly 100 species.

the early rulers were called “panginuan” or “panginoon” or lords in English and is the birthplace of Andres Bonifacio, Joseph Estrada, Manuel Villar, Dolphy and Gatpuno Antonio Villegas.

two of the oldest universities in the city which are still operating are Colegio San Juan De Letran and University of Santo Tomas.
