Craving for Caves!

Cave tour is indeed an exhilarating experience, who could not be fascinated when you see a place that has been molded by nature that took million of years to make and still going. Philippines is very blessed with its new recognition to be called one of the world’s new 7 wonder, the Puerto Prinsesa Underground River. Though, it is still fighting for its official placement, the spot is now experiencing an even more influx of tourists from all over the world just after the announcement. Eco-tourism is beneficial to country’s economy, I just hope that the local government could keep its ecological balance to keep its environment as healthy as it is right now!

Statue Pétrifié 2: Victoria Memorial, LONDON, UK


I wonder why I have this thing for statues; I just love taking photos beside them or literally on them!  Maybe, because each statue has its own interesting historical and geographical significance from the past and it tells about the place where it stands.  Once in a while I publish some of those significant monument or statue from places where I went, in a portion I called in French, “Statue Pétrifié” or Petrified Statue in English.   Please see some photos further below.   




 The Victoria Memorial is a statue in front of Buckingham Palace in London, placed at the centre of The Queen's Gardens.


The golden statue on top is of Queen Victoria facing north-eastward.
