The city's most famous landmark is Magellan's Cross. This cross, now housed in a chapel, was supposedly planted by Ferdinand Magellan when he arrived in the Philippine Islands in 1521. It was encased in hollow tindalo wood in 1835 upon the order of the Augustinian Bishop Santos Gómez Marañon to prevent devotees from taking it home chip by chip. The same bishop restored the present template, or kiosk, located at the present Magellan street between City Hall, and Colegio del Santo Niño. Revered by Filipinos, the Cross of Magellan is a symbol of the beginning of Christianity in the Philippines

Hi Ramon,
Impressive portrait of this old lady!
The bright and contrasted colors enhance the force of the image. Despite her great tiredness, she keeps a great dignity in her attitude!

Hi Ramon
This is a good photo. I love the colours, and how you show the dear lady. She does look tired and I feel sorry for her. She is holding her head and I think it is an emotional image.
Thank you
Janice
