For over four decades I have been a rail and bus photographer.
However, during this time I have aimed the lens at other subjects, be they different transportation, scenery, buildings and other bollocks.
Given these do not really fit the scope of my other sites, I felt compelled to set up a new site so as to inflict my other photographic garbage upon the world.
While primarily Philippine and Australian content, there will be the occasional forays into Fiji and Hong Kong. Perhaps other locations should the current pandemic ever allow it.
So sit back and enjoy, or hate, even be indifferent. That choice is purely up to you.

2010: PHILIPPINE VIEWS - MIXED COLLECTION - PART 3

Baywalk - Manila

Roxas Boulevard, Malate Manila


The once vibrant Baywalk entertainment area along Roxas Boulevard seems to have now disappeared, with much of what made it special in 2010 now gone. Nowadays, the main hub for entertainment appears to be around SM Mall of Asia.
 Having visited the new area, I can attest that it offers a similar, if not better, experience compared to the former Baywalk. Perhaps, this transformation will be covered on the blog in the future.

 Definitely one of my favourite parts of the Philippines in the seaside section of the AH26 from Plaridel to Gumaca and Hondagua in Quezon Province.

Lutucan, Quezon Province


Nestled among the picturesque landscapes south of Manila lies the quaint town of Lutucan—a place that captivates travelers with its unassuming charm and warm hospitality. While it may not be on the usual tourist radar, Lutucan offers a unique glimpse into provincial life in the Philippines.

One of the reasons I always make it a point to stop by Lutucan during my trips southward is the genuine friendliness of its residents. From the moment you arrive, you're greeted with warm smiles and heartfelt welcomes, making you feel right at home in this tight-knit community.

The Calabao always makes for a great provincial farming shot.

Main highway through Candelaria in Quezon Province.
The town has since been diverted (2012) around with a new bypass road.

Not the Banaue Rice Terraces :-).

I guess it covers all bases.

I think it’s a great idea to wear two different deodorants, one under each armpit.
 But that’s just my two scents.
