Day 048 May 26, 2012

Sunset:

John asked me if I wanted to come with him and a few friends to take shots of the Manila sunset, somewhere in Intramuros, so you can imagine how I ironed out my schedules to be able to do this.

We went to the Bayleaf hotel... stayed in their roofdeck, and after marveling at surrounding view, started taking pictures all around us. Among all my shots, this became one of my nicer ones. I shot the sun setting... with it's golden rays shining, but framed against a dome-topped window that  somehow matched the distant domes of the Manila Cathedral (hence the cross that you can discern on the left dome). The window also allowed me to avoid a direct view of the sun, and made everything else just visible through their silhouette. I made sure the sun could be partly seen though... and that is how this picture was planned.
