Flowers in The Ruins




These are some shots i took when we had a very quick touristy stop straight from the airport at the oft visited The Ruins in Talisay, Bacolod. I thought that the brave water lily blossoms made this a poignant scene. Where life, love and passion once stood, only a skeleton of what once was remains.

Just yesterday huge tremors shook the south and left centuries old churches in ruins... beautiful frescoes and murals now only a memory.

Yet the spirit, the indomitable spirit will blossom like stubborn flowers in the ruins.
