I got out on one of my "walking" photo shoots this morning. I wanted to get some shots of this year's Fuente Circle xmas tree. I'm not a video person, and I enjoy going through the still shots and editing later. I want to express my love for Cebu City before I type the following words. I've trained myself to focus 85% on the path in front of me when I'm walking around this area, and I try to remember to stop walking when I'm thinking of a good shot and pulling up my camera. This older area of Cebu and it's sidewalks are like a mine field of trips and stumbles for an older person like me. Almost 1 year ago to the day I caught my foot on a 1" high square concrete base of a street lamp. I was maneuvering myself by some other people and thinking about my next shot, and...Nose Plant!! Fast! Anyway, sprained wrist from protecting my camera, and other injuries that didn't go away for weeks... End of rant. That said, I like that I'm taking photos again. ps - The tree design is different every year, and I'm looking forward to the tree lighting ceremony Monday evening. ps ps - the small white bus in the next to last photo is called a "modern jeepney", and the large metal leaf design structure in the last shot is part of the new "Cebu Bus Rapid Transit (CBRT)". A big question is will it help the traffic problem here? Many of us think not, but I like it because this stop is by our front door.
