Summertime, Summerblues, Cape Cod Blues

So here we go into what I like to call deep summer, days are getting shorter, there might be another heatwave of two in store, storms are brewing in the Atlantic..only a little less than a month left of summer. You can feel the season winding down. But the sunsets we shared, the walks along that magnificent beach out in the Provincelands…the pictures we took, those will last longer. This post’s a personal one, for my friends who share photos of their world and for my friends who share sunsets with me.

Giant Slippers Festival

Giant Slippers Festival

I’m burn out of work and to veer away from this feeling, I plan to travel and attend different festivals but my plans this August of going to Kidapawan Fruit Festival, Davao Oriental Festival and Kadayawan Festival did not pursue because of endless meetings and work loads. This weekend, I make sure that I’ll attend one which is near to Manila but instead of attending the most participated festivals this August; I went to Gapan, Nueva Ecija (around 96km away from Manila) to witness the Giant Slipper Festival. When I arrived in Gapan, Nueva Ecija this 4am, I learn that the parade of the Giant Slippers is on Wednesday, August 25, 2010. Despite of that, I took pictures of this Giant Slippers exhibited in front of Gapan Municipal Hall

Flood in Leh, Ladakh

Flood in Leh, Ladakh

Insistent rains have finally reached a  critical mass here in Ladakh.  Catastrophic floods rampaged through the  capital city of Leh last night around 1am destroying roads, homes and  causing unconfirmed deaths and injuries.  August 6th was scheduled to be  an enormous cultural event with the return of the incarnate Lama  Bhakula Rimpoche to Leh in a vast motorcade over the highest motorable  road in the world from Nubra Valley.  Reports are that the main Nubra  Valley  city of Disket was flooded, so most likely many, many devotees  and dignitaries who had assembled there for the motorcade are stranded  or worse. I just returned from Leh and have attached 8 very  shocking photos.  There are many, many devastated apartment buildings  that are now under excavation to find any survivors.  Reports from the  scene estimate the death toll in the hundreds, but it is the first hours  of the true nature of the catastrophe.  Sonam Norboo Hospital is also  very heavily damaged as well as All India Radio, the mobile phone  companies and the airport runways is damaged to some extent.  We went  out to see the runway from Spitok Monastery which overlooks it and it  appears to not have been damaged structurally, but is covered in mud  from flooding.  All roads to Leh are blocked by the devastation and  emergency crews working.  It’s well and truly the biggest disaster that I  or anyone else has seen in 25 years.  Unbelievably, it is now 2pm in  Ladakh and the thunder and lightening is starting yet again which might  very well bring another wave of destruction.  It’s worse than I can  describe and might deteriorate if it rains again.  All those planning on  coming to Leh must now re-evaluate your travel plans.  It will be  significant time before anything resembling normality returns to Leh.

Times Square Flooded by River of Art

New York City’s latest offbeat art installation is a cool one, literally. Titled “Cool Water, Hot Island”  the developing project is covering the pedestrian areas of Times Square in alternating waves of blues, simulating a flowing body of water. Created by New York artist Molly Dilworth , the design is based on NASA’s infrared data of Manhattan that suggests a river flowing through the center of the island. Dilworth’s design was selected from over 150 entries in a competition sponsored by NYC’s Department of Transportation, aimed at refreshing the pedestrian areas of Tines Square on Broadway from 42nd to 47th streets.
