I spent an afternoon with a visiting cousin and got us a chance to witness the natural beauty of the sunset at Manila Bay. She and her parents were scheduled to go home to Bacolod the day after so I decided to take her to the biggest mall in the Philippines, the SM Mall of Asia.
After we enjoyed ice skating and watched a movie, we decided to hang out by the bay behind the mall. There were several attractions at the park on that strip. There was a water ball area, a mini-observatory, a merry-go-round, several restaurants, and the whole wall that also served as a breakwater.
We watched the sun as it set at the horizon of Manila Bay. I was able to catch it on video and it was such a glorious experience. The sun set at Manila Bay is one of the beautiful gifts of nature to our country.

More so, we saw the moon smile and winked at us. A star was strategically found atop a crescent moon that you’d think there was a wink there.

what you captured was actually the “occultation of venus by the moon.” nice!
Gorgeous sunset! I always love to see a beautiful sunset.
Thanks! I’ve always wanted to have a video of the sun until it disappears. Finally, I’ve done it and now I can watch it whenever I want. 🙂
Nice was to spend the time with your cousin. Isn’t it wonderful to sometimes just be still and watch the sun set. Liked your photos
Yes, I agree. Just sitting there marveling at the beauty of our planet and spending quality time with a family member or loved one was very pleasant. No need for words. The quietness was comforting enough.
That is an amazing sunset picture, really nice. The winking moon is really cool too! Nice!
Lovely photos!
