Old Walls

Shelved under About Town, Interesting tidbits, Philippines, Photo Hunters, Snapshots

Chipped old and historical walls of Intramuros, the seat of Spanish government in the Philippines more than a hundred years ago I am not sure though if this is an original wall or has been restored already

My other entry is here, a chipped wooden bench

Chipped wall in Fort Santiago, Intramuros, Manila.

More photos of Intramuros here, here and here.

Excellent contribution to the theme, Julie. I love historical sites for photo outings.

My version of the theme is historic, but only in a local sense.

The wall looks like it could have been around for 100 years. I love seeing places from the past. Great use of the theme.

If you have time, please check out my photo hunt for the week.

It reminded me of the Malaccan A’ Farmosa wall. Only the front wall was still intact but badly chipped. :) Great one Julie.

That’s a great find for this theme Julie. Better than the chipped mugs a lot of us are featuring this week. I could not think of anything else but as always when I see the photos I think why didn’t i think of that.

Have a good weekend.
