This is the Baluarte de San Diego. It's one of the oldest architectural landmarks in Manila. This stone fortification was built in 1587. It used to house a foundry before it was destroyed by several wars and earthquakes.
Wow I like that it is B&W, seems to authenticate the age of the structure.
thanks. i wish the sky was a bit less overcast (it rained a lot that day), but there's nothing i can do about that. :) i like going to intramuros, it's almost as if i can imagine spanish friars walking around.
Yes I can see that!
What a wonderful historical place to photograph, Thank you for the historical information too, Pao.
I like that undulating wave of cloud you've filled the sky with, as there are people in the middle distance, the fort doesn't look that very big, from this view its difficult to get a sense of scale, but the picture does support that massive sky very well.
