Captured outside the church...

The blind is selling candles same spot everyday.
You just need to drop your money in the cup above the stick he was holding and the lady (not in the photo)will give you the candles. I was shooting on the opposite side of the road. Quite an interesting street photography subject.

The church of Santo Niño de Cebu was founded by an Augustinian priest, Andrés de Urdaneta on April 28, 1565. The first church structure was built out of earth, hard wood and nipa in 1566 ordered by Fr. Diego de Herrera. In 1735, Fernando Valdés y Tamon, the Governor of Cebu, ordered the church to be constructed of hard stone, which was built in the same spot were the previous church stood. Construction was completed in 1739. In 1965, during the fourth centenary of the Christianization of the Philippines, Pope Paul VI elevated the church to the rank of minor basilica.

The Basilica remains under the care of the Order of St. Augustine.

hello,

fnatastique iamge quel portrait,, de merveilleus couleur, un captage parfait, splendide.

bravoe t amitié

Nicou

Gritty and poignant and a reminder that there are many levels of fortune in life, but that even those with little have hopes and ambitions.

The colours and light represent well the Philippines I have seen - at least the urban side of it. Composition is well done, off-centre placement of subject creates good balance.
