Cape Bojeador Lighthouse

This is also known as the Burgos Lighthouse, taking the name of the town where it is erected. It is considered a heritage structure as it dates back to more than a hundred years. It carries the distinction of being the highest elevated lighthouse in the Philippines. Like other lighthouses, its bright light has guided the way of many at sea.

Taken April 2008 in Ilocos Norte, Philippines

Sunlight Buddha, originally uploaded by Em Dy.

I remember this as a particularly hot day. S2 and I had to cool off at a convenience stop after shooting pictures and attempting to climb the steps leading to the Batu Caves. Even the Giant Buddha was not spared from the sun. On closer inspection, you can see the rays of light striking this statue which guards the entrance to the cave.

This photo is also a good example of scale.

Taken May 2007 at the Batu Caves, Kuala Lumpur.
