An Afternoon, An Architect and a Park

I haven't been able to go out and shoot lately because my wanderlust buddy/boyfriend  had to focus on his studies. Now that exams are over and he's an ARCHITECT too (he did great, I'm very proud), we're back to our usual photo walks :)

Paco Park is a walled circular recreation spot found along Gen. Luna St. in Manila. Once a cemetery for the Spanish elite, it is now a good place to take a short walk and just breathe. National Hero, Jose Rizal was interred here after his execution. Thus a bust stands in a portion of the park to commemorate that event.

Now a popular wedding venue, there were 2 weddings while we were there, one after the other, this walled garden also houses the Chapel of St. Pancratius, which I hope to see the interiors of some other time.
