DAILY PHOTO: Man Made Forest of Bohol
Taken in December of 2017 on Bohol
This stand of trees covers a couple of kilometers of roadway in thick mahogany forest. It’s noticeable in that it seems out-of-place, and because the trees are of preternaturally uniform size. Apparently, the natural growth was destroyed and they planted the mahogany trees for something new. The forest is in the area of the villages of Bilar and Loboc on Bohol Island along the drive to one of the Tarsier sanctuaries and the Chocolate Hills.
There were lots of these crawlers present.

DAILY PHOTO: Scenes from Manila’s Chinatown
Taken in December of 2017 in Manila
Manila’s Chinatown, dating to 1594, is said to be the world’s oldest Chinatown. It was a neighborhood set aside for Chinese Catholics across the Pasig River from the Intramuros (the fortified part of the city controlled by the Spaniards.) Chinese trade activity in the city pre-dated Spanish colonial rule, but the Spanish facilitated the Chinatown so they could keep an eye on immigrants. Chinatown is locally known as Binondo.

It wasn’t dry enough to see them in their full chocolatey brown glory, but these conical limestone hills are pretty wild nevertheless.
