>Litratong Pinoy #009 : Mithi (Wish)
>
Sa uulitin, nais ko pong ihabol ang aking litrato para sa linggong ito. Ang tema ngayong linggo ay mithi, o wish, sa wikang Filipino. Kaya naman ito po ang aking naisipang isali:
Bata pa ako ay talagang pinangarap ko nang makita ng malapitan ang Mt. Everest na siyang tinaguriang pinakamataas na bundok sa buong mundo. Kung hindi naman ito posible ay kahit na lamang sa paanan nito. Natupad naman ang minimithi kong ito nuong nakaraang Disyembre nang ako ay pumunta ng Nepal para sa isang conference. Hindi man ako nakasama sa mga duon sa chartered flight papuntang tuktok mismo, nakita ko naman ito mula sa bintana ng eroplanong sinakyan ko pauwi. Tulad ng Mayon Volcano, hindi basta-basta nagpapakita ang Mt. Everest, kaya dyan sa litrato ang tuktok nito ay nakabalot sa ulap. Sayang, ano po?
Pero teka, yan nga ba ang Mt. Everest? Kayo na po ang humusga dahil ako man ay nalilito kung alin dyan ang bundok na pakay ko *lol*
Sana sa susunod, makapunta naman ako sa Bhutan, Tibet at Mongolia. Iyan ang mga pinapangarap kong puntahang mga bansa dito sa Asya.

Ang mga sumusunod na litrato ay kuha ng aking asawa habang tinatahak niya ang daan ng Camino de Santiago, mula sa kanyang bayan sa Inglatera patungong Pransiya, Espanya, at Portugal – mga bansang nasa kanlurang bahagi ng Europa. Sa pahintulot niya, ito ang aking ibabahagi ngayong linggo dito sa Litratong Pinoy:
The following pictures were taken by my husband when he did the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage on bicycle. He started from his hometown in England crossing the English Channel to France, Spain and Portugal – countries that comprise Western Europe. With his permission, I am sharing these pictures for this week’s Litratong Pinoy:
Lescun, Southern France
Cenfranc, just over the Pyreenes and into Spain
The Camino de Santiago de Compostelle, here alongside the N120 near Astorga, Northern Spain
Salvatierra de Minho, Spanish and Portuguese border
Fatima, Portugal
Gibraltar
Sa susunod na taon ay inaasahan naming gawin muli ito subalit imbes na bisikleta ay maglalakad kami.
Next year, we are hoping to do the Camino pilgrimage together, this time, on foot.

>Photo Hunt #26: Support
>
Coming back again for the PH after such a long time of being absent. My entry for this week is a photo of one of the towers of a lesser known temple Prey Rup found at the Angkor Wat complex. Shown in the photo is a re-assembled tower, a temple mountain design symbolically representing Mount Meru (characteristic of a Khmer classical architecture), the legendary home of Hindu gods.
Being one of the World Heritage Sites, the Cambodian government took measures to protect the temples. There have been several conservation projects supported by Japan, Germany, France and other countries that were implemented and some are still ongoing. As you can see in the picture, huge blocks of sandstone are precariously held together by what looked like a string. I wonder though, with all the support generated for the conservation project, could they get another string/rope strong enough to support the sandstone blocks from falling down?
>Wordless Wednesday #40: Watch out, ducks crossing!
>
We were driving back to Kep from Kampot when we were stopped by this group of ducks. Oh look, they all have made it across, except for the last duck which we think was the bodyguard.
Go to Wordless Wednesday for more entries.
A Silver Finish!
