Cagayan De Oro's Night Cafe

Every Friday and Saturday Nights, D V Soria in the city center of Cagayan De Oro turn into a hot night spot. Make shift tents that offers bargain clothes, toys and fruits as well as fly-by-night barbeque and food stalls dominate the area.

This weekend revelry was started by the City Government in 2003 and continue up to this day. So, the night is truly alive in Cagayan De Oro City.

  11. Looks like quite a party! The last shot reminds me of a similar event we had downtown last summer. Huge music festival played in a downtown park that's usually "home" to many of the city's homeless. Quite a contrast between them and the partying festival-goers.

    This festival looks very similar actually. And for most, a lot of fun!

    Great shooting too!

  12. Love the street scenes. We too had this type of bazaar or night market. It is usually the food vendors that make the most money. :)

  42. Vivid black and white photos. That works really well in the night, as the full scale of grays emerge.

    ReplyDelete
  43. Mas naging dramatic ang night shots mo with the B&W shot mode. :)

  45. When we took a vacation in CDO, we only went to the restaurant strip of the city. I can't remember the name of the mall. Basta it sounded Chinese. Anyway, next time I'm there, I will surely look for DV Soria. Hehe.

    I'm loving the black and white effects on your photos.

    ReplyDelete
  46. To me there's nothing quite like great black and whites and these are great black and whites. I love the way the lights really stand out in your shots.
