Ngong Ping Village in Pictures

A trip in Hong Kong would not be complete if one would not visit the Ngong Ping Village in Lantau Island. The village is very popular because of the Tian Tan or Big Buddha and the Po Lin Monastery. Be awed and be amazed by the beautiful scenery that Ngong Ping Village has to offer to all its visitors.

A day at the University of the Philippines Diliman

I always wanted to go the University of the Philippines in Diliman – both as a student and a visitor. Unfortunately, I was not successful in getting admitted. So, I usually went in as a visitor.

During one of my vacation leave, I decided to take a visit at the Vargas Museum at the University of the Philippines and along the way, I took some pictures.

The streets at University of the Philippines

I was not able to walk around the whole campus due to the summer heat and I know I missed some sights that are truly UP but nevertheless, UP Diliman is a photographer’s place.

Photowalk along the beach

These are collections of photographs that I have taken while walking along the shores of beaches that I have went to.



In fact, we started off with two or three different shells and the shell had life of its own.

- Ken Thompson

The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach - waiting for a gift from the sea.

 - Anne Morrow Lindbergh

A beach is not only a sweep of sand, but shells of sea creatures, the sea glass, the seaweed, the incongruous objects washed up by the ocean.

 - Henry Grunwald

My life is like a stroll on the beach...as near to the edge as I can go.
