"What is this hidden and just peeking behind the high wall?

Without any legs and feet, it stood there at a side near a wall.

Without eyes, it desires to see the horizon and the vessels of the sea that it had used-to. Without any feelings, lonesome in the companion of some mango trees, i think i heard it cry. Friends or foes cling in betrayal to its fragile and aged body, tearing it apart. Visited by birds and perhaps even spirits from the past that may still linger to its virtual memory and frighten the living. It does not yearn for nobody can hear it longing. A mute and blind witness. It is a sad thing.

...Old and forgotten"

ZIM-SIM-UG Twin Falls of Arosip Ecotrail

"Sometimes, it is not only the panoramic and scenic views that make-up a great trail experience for me as a hiker. The trail may start even before setting your foot inside the forest or going down and up the steep mountainside. The people we meet along the way contribute largely to the entirety of an experience such as hiking at the town's outskirts."

CENTENNIAL TREE of La UNion

"What is so exciting about my short travel today is that it involves meeting a giant living thing.
Aged by time, standing as a mute witness to what is happening to this part of the world. It clearly claims his territory with his majestic heavy arms widespread defining his territory. This is the La Union “Centennial Tree”, an Acacia tree that rooted more than a century ago"
