On the Streets of Mankind & Bambang

Hola!

The new week has begun here in the farmlands with the beautiful Monday morning looking bright and sprightly. A promising start, I say. We are prepping to get on the road to DD, but first, we would visit the clinic for one more piece of my whites to be pulled out.

Before that, let me just share some cool artwork along the street, on the outside wall of The North Bound Studio in the town of Mankayan (the hubby and I often refer to as Mankind).

I had wanted to photograph it before, but motorbikes or people blocked the view. So I was so chuffed when on our way home last week, it was clear and empty that I asked the hubby to slow down. He drove past it but maneuvered back. Well, he quickly took these shots so I didn't have to step out of the car.

"What if there was CCTV and the owner is looking right at us?" the hubby said while snapping this one. I did notice a camera at the left corner of the structure before we drove off.

Taking a closer look, I actually thought the sea turtle was staring at us and that he was kinda smirking, lol! Jokes aside, the painting made me imagine the ecosystem in the depths of the ocean.

Meanwhile, the succeeding artwork were seen and photographed along the streets of Bambang, Viscaya during our family trip in December.

The concrete fence of the school grounds had various paintings of lakes, fields, farmlands and such. They are not that clear though as they were taken while the car was speeding. I was a bit late to notice them but glad to have taken a few pics.

There were quotations above each piece. Some had sort of an advertisement. But yes, the artwork are mostly of nature (water, lands, animals, trees and such). They add more colors to the already green surroundings.

And oops! The tarpaulins and tall grasses covered a few of them. I thought the area is not well-kept as the weeds are growing abundantly😅

Regrettably, I do not know who the artists were, but their pieces are great and are a delightful sight to motorists or passersby. We were privileged to have seen them, even for a little while.
