Shanghai: Expo 2010 World’s Fair

leefoxx1949 — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 16:05:34 +0000

This is my fourth world’s fair (I have photos from the other 3 posted elsewhere on my website). I’ll let the pictures speak for themselves. I was there for only one day, so there is quite a bit I did not get to see or photograph. Photos by Gary L.

Philippine Islands, Atolls, & Cities: Aerial Views

Most of these shots are from Q300 or Q400 turboprop flights from Gensan on Mindanao to Cebu, Cebu to Caticlan, and return flights. I’ve also added a few jet views of Luzon and Manila.

Lapu-Lapu Monument, Battle of Mactan

leefoxx1949 — Thu, 19 Feb 2009 14:40:53 +0000

This is the site on Mactan Island near Cebu where Lapu-Lapu, the chief of the island, repulsed the Spanish and killed Ferdinand Magellan in 1521. Magellan’s crew continued his circumnavigation of the globe, while the battle effectively delayed the colonization of the Philippines for more than four decades. Photos by Gary L.

Boracay, Philippines

Boracay’s white sand beach has been rated as one of the best beaches in the world. Most people get there by flying to Caticlan and taking a small ferry to Boracay Island. We circled the island about ten times while waiting to land; hence, the nice aerial views. We also took a catamaran to nearby Crystal Cove and all around Boracay, with several stops for snorkling at coral reefs. Photos by Gary L.

General Santos City on Mindanao is where Amy grew up and where I lived for a year after we got married. We usually spend our winter break there every year between semesters. Lots of beautiful tropical scenery in these photos, along with some family places. Photos by Gary L.

Switzerland

Random photos of places in Switzerland, mostly around Lake Luzern (Lucerne), taken in 1993, 2000, or 2001. These are copies of slides I took before I got a good digital camera, but I plan to make better copies this summer (2011) and replace all these. Photos by Gary L.

Random photos of historic & scenic places in Ireland, taken in 2003. I will make better copies of these photos this summer (2011) and replace them at that time. Photos by Gary L.
