c.s. Pacific Guardian with some of the guys out on deck, braving atrocious weather in order to try and secure some mushroom anchors that had broken loose. This was the big storm that "Pac-G" endured on her first attempt at repairing the CANTAT-3 submarine telecoms cable in the North Atlantic, off the Grand Banks of Newfoundland in January, 2007 I was not there, (fortunately!) - So I definitely was not the photographer. (If whoever took thi sphoto would like to post a comment or send me an e-mail, I would be glad to give the credit where it is due!)

NOT My PHOTO... (This arrived in my yahoo mail) But, as the sender says: And so I have!! With full marks to the original photographer, for a truly outstanding work of photographic art!

This photo was taken some time in 2005 - during the time when Lito Atienza was the Mayor of the City of Manila; in Metro Manila, Philippines. In those day's the Manila Baywalk was a thriving, lively and safe place for both locals and tourists to visit on any evening of the week. Then, you could enjoy some fine seafood, barbeque, Filipino foods and other cuisines from around the world; whilst enjoying the famous Manila Bay sunset. As the evening wore on, there was always a plethora of live bands and comedy acts to keep you entertained... Last time I visited the place, it was like a ghost town - and I would certainly no longer feel safe walking along the Bay after dark. What happened to the Manila Baywalk? Ask the current incumbant of City Hall, (as of time of writing, in January, 2008); Mayor Alfredo Lim.
