Metro Manila - Philippines

[weirdo]

i remember some years ago, a taxi driver told me that one time ortigas will surpass makati's scrapers in height, beauty, and number. i got sad. i love my city (which is makati). but that time hasn't arrived yet.

however, ortigas doesnt have to "catch up" with makati to be recognised. it is amazing. too bad i can't come there too often.

9.0 for the area but because the pics are so good and i'm a little bias, it's 9.5

[weirdo]

let me make up for the silly post before this.

some have seen some of these before. the buildings stand still but the sky... it's great.

presenting-
makati skyline and the sky itself:

[weirdo]

thanks



the sun (in the pic) is between rockwell and makati cbd. ortigas isn't visible in my window a building standing on the next the street (college of saint benilde) covers shaw boulevard-ortigas area. to take a look at ortigas i have to go upstairs (penthouse)

[renell]

hmm.. from your view a Makati+Mandaluyong+Ortigas view is possible...

[weirdo]

yeah. that's why i don't want to leave the dorm although it costs me a little more than the average

Stunningly nice! I've been Manila in 2000 and was impressed. 9/10

[weirdo]

a better shot. cut to appear panoramic.

wow.. nice job weirdo! I hope I can do that ..

[ryanr]

cool...that's Rockwell to the left right??

[weirdo]

thanks. but that's not pure talent you know. i'm just blessed with a nice view of the skyline. i hope those would help the city get higher votes.

yeah, hopefully Makati's tallest will rise there.. but that will somehow remove the dominance of the CBD area.

doesnt matter, I want Lopez Center to be built anyway....It's more than 1000ft, so i really want it to be built soon.

Later on in the future we might have taller scrapers in BGC, so dont worry...

[weirdo]

yea. at last, i was able to shot a clearer night pic of makati skyline. and i'm posting it on my 200th.

greyx, this is one pic of gt with lights from afar.
