Baguio Landscapes

These photos were taken in Burnham Park at the height of the Baguio Flowers Festival. By now, the blooms of the flowers have already faded and the amazing structures have already been vacated but the meomories of these beautiful landscapes will definitely linger to those persons who have been witnesses to these excellent showcases.

And as I look at these photos, what comes to mind is an age-old adage that a thing of beauty is a joy forever.











With this I end my "famous places in Baguio" series. I hope that in my next posts about Baguio, I could feature the City's not-so visited places or those off-the-beaten-tracks. Ciao!!!
