Sunset at Manila Bay

Lights

This photo was taken last night at Greenbelt 5 using my phone. I had dinner with my officemates at Oody's in Greenbelt 3. We're suppose to have coffee somewhere, along the way, we passed by this mall. Their interior lights were so nice. I loved their designs.

I took this photo in the fitting room of Market Market Department Store. It's a ceiling light. I took this using my Motorola V9 phone. I set it's color in black and white. I'm happy with the results..I hope you'll enjoy this too.

My Photo of the Day - Mt. Mayon

As promised, i'll be posting about Mt. Mayon. Our counterpart to Japan's Mt. Fuji. Here are the basic information about Mt. Mayon.

Mt Mayon is an active volcano located in the province of Albay in Bicol Region. The near perfectly cone shaped volcano is situated 15 kilometres northwest of Legazpi City. It is the most active volcano in the country since it errupted 47 times in 400 years.

Mayon Volcano is one of the candidates of the New 7 Wonders of Nature. It is renowned as the "Perfect Cone" volcano because of its almost perfectly conical shape.

My Photo of the Day - Mt. Fuji

Mount Fuji is the highest mountain in Japan which stands at 3,776 m (12,388 ft). It ranges from the boundary of Shizuoka and Yamanashi prefectures just west of Tokyo. Mount Fuji's is a well-known symbol of Japan and it is frequently showed in art and photographs, as well as visited by sightseers and climbers. It has a symmetrical cone which can be compared to our Mt. Mayon in Legaspi, Albay.

These photos were taken by my fiance, Jun when he went to Mt. Fuji. These photos are not edited. Next time, I'll be posting the photo of our very own, Mt. Mayon.

dusk

Photos where taken last April 2, 2006

My fiance and I love photography. When our hectic schedule permits, we usually spend our weekends together taking pictures. We cant help but admire God's wonderful creation.

Here are some trivia about dusk.

Did you know that the new calendar days of Jews begin during dusk?
While sunset marked the close of the daylight period, for the Jews it marked the start of the new calendar day, which officially began at sunset, being counted from evening to evening. (Le 23:32; compare Mr 1:21, 32, which shows that the day, in this case a sabbath, ended in the evening.) (from watchtower)

Did you know that during dusk, an unusual phenomenon occur called green flash or in rare case the blue flash?
Here's the explanation why. As the last edge of the sun dips below the horizon, the sun's light splits into a spectrum like a rainbow. Red light appears on the bottom of the spectrum, and blue light is on the top. As the sun continues to descend, the red portion of the spectrum falls below the horizon and the blue portion is usually scattered by the atmosphere. It is at this instant that the last bit of visible light can flash green. But why green? Because green is the other primary color in light. When the sky is heavily polluted, the green flash is seldom seen, and the blue flash occurs only when the atmosphere is exceptionally clear and enough blue light pierces the sky to cause a brilliant flash to appear.

What gives the dusk the red and orange color?
Sunlight streaming down to the earth contains all the colors of the rainbow. When this light strikes the earth's atmosphere, the atmosphere acts much like a giant prism and scatters, or diffuses, the light. The extent to which a light wave is diffused, however, depends on its wavelength. Blue light waves have a shorter wavelength and are widely scattered throughout the atmosphere. That is why the sky appears blue when the sun is well above the horizon on a clear day. But when the sun is near the horizon—such as at dusk—the sunlight must travel through more of the atmosphere to reach our eyes. As a result, the highly scattered blue light does not reach us. On the other hand, the longer waves, such as red, can more easily penetrate the dense atmosphere. This gives the dusk its familiar red or orange color.

till next time. live and let live....enjoy life to the fullest
