Brick Walls and Wooden Windows

Windows on the brick walls of Fort Santiago's Almacenes Reales (Royal Warehouse) which stored goods from the galleons docked at the Pasig River. Must have been rat heaven.

One of only four windows in the very small Our Lady of Guadalupe chapel inside the Baluartillo de San Francisco Javier.

Inside the Walls

The other weekend, I had a chance to go back to Fort Santiago where I attended a photography class last July. This time, though, I actually took shots of some things that I just ignored at that time, like this new building (or restoration?) outside the fort's beautiful iron fence.

Expectedly, I got a little lost on my way back, but I took the time to take more photos. Here's the Palacio del Gobernador, currently the COMELEC office, where I took the wrong ride.

To make things easier, I walked back to the fort area, so I could get the right jeep. I had to pass by the ruins of the Intendencia (Civil Administration Office). Some shrubs sprout on its arid walls.
