#461 - Scenes at Mirador, the Diplomat Hotel and at Camp John Hay.
Good Wednesday evening my beloved Hiveans. My mother in law yesterday prepared a beef nilaga for our lunch. It's tender beef meat stew with veggies and potatoes. I only eat a lot of the veggies and just a few cuts of the beef because I am wary of the effect when I eat too much meat, I don't want to experience gout anymore. It's painful and depressing too so just a moderation now when it comes to beef.😄
For our photos today we got here a shot taken in Camp John Hay near a hotel. My model as usual is the wife. She leaned back on an old pine tree while there is another one that has been cut down maybe because the tree was dead already.
The next fours shots were taken at Mirador Eco Park where they have this Japanese inspired torii gate and also a lot of bamboos.
The torri gate is painted in red and black and has a golden bell hanging in the middle. The wife, my child and I take turns in our photos. Beyond the gate is an outskirts of the city where we can see a lot of houses built on the mountains. There are still few greens left but urbanization may rid of those greens in just a matter of time.
Living here is cheaper than in the Metro but the only thing I am worried about is when natural disasters strike. Could be landslide or quake you know, I tend to imagine things and those houses in the mountains won't be spared if something colossal happens. Well it has been ages when the city was hit by a big quake, I recall it was in 1990 I think during my grade 1 elementary days.
Then we got also these bamboo plants along a concrete path leading to the gate. There is a vast plantation of these bamboos and you will enjoy the walk under their cover.
Lastly is a cross on top of the old Diplomat Hotel. This cross is about thrice or four times my height and is still standing as time goes by. It was made I think foe the Dominican missionaries back then during the early 1900s.
Follow me on my nature travels.
