Baguio City Streets, Busy on Holy Week 2011

THE last time I've been in Baguio was decades.  It is like Manila now, Quiapo area, but cooler.  Specially on a Holy Week, every Manila peeps are up in Baguio.  Estimated 200k visitors for a summer getaway, that's hot in a cold city.  Local folks busy on their business, tourist usually shop, dine and relax some visit churches.  I took pictures, where ever my group lead the road. There is no specific destination. We already disregard some tourists spots like Botanical garden, Camp John Hay etc.
   Its was a three day stay, a three day photo walk.  Baguio changed, all things do. At this point, it's a record of history.

SUNSETS are magical specially during summer.  I thought of organizing a photo challenge for my friends and people who like PhotoWalk PhotoTalk in Facebook. This photo challenge your a chance to practice your photography skills like taking sunset shots.  Since most people gone to summer getaways, at least they could take a sunset image during their vacation. 
  If you are a beginner in photography, we have FREE tutorials on how to take a sunset shot.
  Check out some sunset photography from some friends, who took sunsets from different spots in the Philippines. Join our online exhibit.
