Photo Hunt: In Memory

In Memory 2

When I visited Lights and Sounds Museum in Intramuros, Manila in September 2006, I was wowed by very interesting pieces inside it including the colorful murals showing a lively run through of Philippine History.

In Memory

My most favorite is this image of Filipino natives. This is included in the murals in memory of the the families of and those who actually joined the Bataan’s Death March in 1942 during World War II.

This is my entry for this week’s Photo Hunt.

I went here about two months ago, and I love the place. I can’t wait to go back, me the history geek. My favorite scene would be the one depicting the Battle of Imus, as that is my hometown. I also love the lights on the ceiling in the Noli Me Tangere area because they look like twinkling stars.
