Mysterious Faces of Mount Mong-o

Viewed from a distance, there are strange human faces carved naturally on this side of the mountain.

Old woman and a young man..

Once you see the images, you seem to be seeing more..

.. and they would appear different each time

There was a story of a woman who suffered so much pain. She ended her agony on this cliff. She slid down onto a crag, and her soul may now be in a deep painless oblivion. Then.. a man on a drunken stupor fell as he ran blindly in the dark, slipping on the carpet of pine needles, then down the cliff into nothingness.

The arch of pinetrees may had been a bait for confused souls. It has a magnet to the edge of nowhere. What mystery does Mount Mong-o hold?

Interesting. But the images may just be incidental structures formed in time by the forces of nature.

Poignant images of a late afternoon as we eke out meanings for Mong-o.

BAGUIO FOG: Sunbeam Etchings on a Misty Morning

It was a misty December morning. Fog settled everywhere creating a canopy of whiteness - an invasion of sort by puffs of cloud. Sunbeam pierced the blanket of opalescence. Etching rays of sunlight. Creating a highway to heaven, and an illusory portal to the universe. The rings of sunlight drew focus to tinges of pinks & purples... Beckoning for attention. And how could one ignore? Such mesmerizing astral beauty. A visual interpretation of the saying, Behind the clouds is the sun still shining. Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;Behind the clouds is the sun still shining; Thy fate is the common fate of all,Into each life some rain must fall- Henry Wadsworth Longfellow,The Rainy Day, 1841 Snapshots by Russia Lei G.

SUNSETS & The Little Prince

Sunsets do take my breath away sometimes. They come different each time. What is mesmerizing is when they slowly fade away into the dark night. Like Anais Nin, I look at sunsets and remember The Little Prince in his tiny planet. He is in his own world, teetering at the edge, counting his sunsets... It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye. Below are photos of beautiful sunsets.

I left home a bit too early one evening for work so I detoured to the beach. I got rewarded with this scenes ..." Sunsets 02 & 03 by Paz Aptimes, Australia When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator. Mahatma Gandhi
