MOVING ON

Other than the 9/11 Memorial, another burial ground monument has to be seen and visited by curious travelers who may have lots of time in their hands. Above are pictures I hastily took from my camera when I happened to pass by Chambers Street in Downtown Manhattan during one of my gigs. I recall reading about this burial ground, which for many years was were covered by older buildings that were demolished to make way for the burial ground and to be come opened again to light that has covered it for many years until 1991. There's a museum, which I've yet to visit right inside the building standing next to the cemetery, and where you can probably read more about the burial ground. The place looks mysterious to me and I got a feeling I was connecting with the spirits of those African slaves (and probably the earliest emancipated freed slaves then) whose remains were buried and found in this burial. Check what the site's all about in this link  (where you can also g

These photos are a mixed variety of those I took using my old Olympus digital camera and my Sony Ericsson celfone camera. You'd see the yawning differences in quality (color, light, ambient features), but I still feel confident on the composition of the images I have chosen and posted here, and to convey the great images one can behold, and very much worthy of sharing to others who have yet to be at the New York Botanical Garden in the Bronx. Having not much memory space in my camera, I settled with what I could just shoot and capture. My friend just went on shooting photos of what has caught her eye on what's beautiful, which quality abounds in this garden. As to the photos here, I'm proud to have captured what's basically, and naturally beautiful, without going out of my way to improve, repair, or change anything on the outcomes. It was sweltering hot when my friend and I visited the park over a week ago. I felt like I was back in the Philippines, but I try to

These two shots were made over a year using my sony ericcson celfone. If I remember it correctly, these falls are located somewhere in the upper north-western side of Central Park, & which some notice posted in the park says it's not actually man-made, or something like it's "natural" [this could be the "natural" waterfalls, or the other photo....can't recall now! :D ]. I remembered one site had cute turtles lying, swimming in the small space. I would have wanted to take shots at them, but my celfone camera didn't have the capacity for close-up shots. I thought these falls look pretty and fanciful to merit some interest to anyone interested in waterfalls. Close your eyes, and imagine the best waterfalls experience you've had ever in your life!
