Taken from Bacarra, Ilocos Norte, The St. Andrew Church was built in 1593 and inaugurated in 1782. A few meters to its left is the Bell Tower which was destroyed by a strong earthquake on Aug. 17, 1983 making it a domeless Belfry.

Wow sir jun Kung nandito Lang yan snow I am sure my kids will be out everyday to play.

Yeah I know what you mean. Living in Seattle is the same as living in Vancouver... liquid snow You have to go up the mountain to get some snow.

i still don't know what those are mr. jun. i think i saw those here but i don't know what they are for. really like the thick snow there.

This was a nice day. the snow was the dry type, not the snowman building kind. Which means you can brush it off your clothing and not get wet.

Me too Ian, not sure what repeaters for (all i know from radio), are these used for cellphone?

Marlon you are right. It's similar to radio signal. No/Yes it's not used for cellphones but the cellular tower use them if microwave radios or fibre optics are not available. Think of it as amplifiers, when the signal gets so low it need to be amplified every 2 KM (approx). In telecom this is the way to give service to far away location such as a small community. In Alberta, the oil fields is a good example. I've seen these thing having 27 repeaters to get to it's destination so you can imagine the difficulty in locating a break in the system. Although it is low tech and old. It's still being used today.

I would have wanted to remove the power line but I was kinda tired last night and felt lazy to do more edits.

I wished we stopped here. We missed this area when we went to Pagudpud. We went to Vigan & Laoag but missed this one. But that's what's so great about Philippines, you don't have to get everywhere in one visit, it gives you an incentive to come back for more later.

Peacock Pizzazz!!!

Really nice Butch, wonder how it will look like if you have the entire bird including the spread out feathers in complete focus.

that's right mr. jun. even if i hailed from Ilocos Norte, i still want to go back to these places whenever I get the chance. hindi nakakasawa. My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Cebu and Bohol back in 2006 and now that we have a child, we're going back there again on May 3-6. too bad steven's not there anymore.
