Album Info:

Philippine legend has it that the first Filipino man & woman were born from a bamboo stalk. They both had brown skin & supple bodies. The man was named Malakas, or "Strong One"; the woman, Maganda, or the "Beautiful One." Two traits which make the Filipino unique among its Asian neighbors -- their strength and resiliency despite a lot of adversity and trials which come their way; and their beauty which is reflected in their surroundings. This shot was taken in Himlayang Pilipino Park in Quezon City, Philippines.

    • It is very nice to recreate the culture and the legends of the Philipine people. But you, dear Mary Ann, stand out in the beautiful explanations of each of your captures. There are no many persons who explain as you explain. Thanks

    • This is a thought provoking picture of Adam and Eve coming out of a splitting bamboo tree. I barely remember a Philippine folklore describing this.
