like stepping into Tolkien's world


This photo was taken by Francis; all else were by me
 After church then dinner, Francis and I took a walk in UP to check out if Quezon Hall is already decked in the holiday garb. Though there are not so many Christmas lights yet, nighttime in UP proved to be picturesque. The night's cool weather and the fog that enveloped our Alma Mater even made our evening walk more mesmerizing and photogenic. Unfortunately, I have only my phone with me, so these photos don't really do justice to the actual scenery. 


And since I just finished re-watching the LOTR trilogy (in preparation for The Hobbit movie; yes, I am such a huge Tolkien fan, please don't get me started), I can't help but think that some of these scenes look like they're straight out of Rivendell...or Ithilien or Lothlorien or the woods in the Girdle of Melian (in The Silmarillion). Just add in a few ethereal elves carrying flickering lamps, please!

lovely shots! i miss the whole evening misty look of UP, especially after our late choir practices and we end up WALKING to philcoa hahaha...but there really is a surreal/ethereal feel to it ^_^ hay, ang layo na kasi from our home, but i hope to visit again soon! haven't been to our alma mater in ages! (years actually)

Hi again, Diane! I really love our Alma Mater, haha! Laging may little surprises with every visit! Good thing we live nearby (just 5 minutes away). And since we go to church there, laging may reason to linger. Haha!

Maybe you and the boys can visit during the Lantern Parade. If I'm not mistaken, it's on Dec. 14. I hope me and hubby can also watch since we've been planning to do that for years! =)
