Baguio City (Scent of Pine Trees)

Up hill. Upland.
The fog. The mist.
Luminous mountains.
At night.
The slope. The lights.
Like a yuletide season.
In the city - at night.


Dark cloud. Droplets of rains.
The morning dew.
Migraine.
Pine Trees. Fine spree.
Day and night.
Coffee shops. Cabs.
Session road.

The sky kisses the mountains.
Like a razor.

City life. Night life.
The pubs. The inns.
Lighted pine trees.
In the streets.
Spaces. Arts. Crafts.
Nourished. Creative.
Mansions. Retreat houses.

City life. Day life.
Market places. Parks.
Masses. Cathedrals.
Zigzag road. The deck.
Windows to heaven.
Sunny side. Summer.
Haven for lovers with L.Q.


Up hill. Upland.
Kingdom of flowers.
Kingdom of pine trees.
Kingdom of strawberries.
Kingdom who seek peace
of mind...
