Colors Along Mankayan Road


It's a dreary Wednesday morning down here so we might spend the day indoors. Or we might get out of town a day early, but we will see. The weather can be very unpredictable and who knows the sun will show up in an hour or so. Of course, being obsessed with a warmer atmosphere, it would be awesome if it does :)

Anyway, before anything else arises and snaps me away from the screen, let me show some cool artwork we captured along the street not so far from here. I was reminded particularly of the fireman mural when the hubby read the news loudly about the houses in Campo Filipino (Baguio) that were burnt to the ground yesterday.


I thought the mural was a creative (and probably effective) way of disseminating information about the town's fire services and the emergency hotline. It certainly got my attention and as a result, I now have a record of the contact number on my phonebook.

But yes, the hubby was speeding (not really, just about 40-50kph) when I took these shots, usually employing the point-and-shoot method of taking pictures.


Also along the same wall are various doodles showing the traditional livelihood of the countryside folks many decades ago (although some are still doing the same thing today).


And my apologies, as just like the other local street artwork shared previously, there was nowhere to find information about who had done them. Or maybe I'm not looking at the right places, lol!


I wonder whether the signatures at the bottom of this piece were by the artists. It's quite rare to see names in murals here.


I assumed this piece refers to the coexistence of the mining industry and agriculture in this town. I could be wrong though.


There are various doodles on that spacious street wall but these are the only shareable ones. The others were photographed badly and editing them excessively would not be ideal.

So this is it for the day and hope that the next time we find or notice murals along the streets, we will have the chance to stop or pullover and enjoy them for some moments and get better shots too :)

The artists that made these works deserve more praise. They have made the road a place to pass and have something to stare at.
Amazing wall arts friend. Thanks for sharing.

Oh I like your finds 😁 Very interesting and cool murals. The first one showing support to a first responder (fireman) is my favorite one. All these show great community involvement of past and now. Thanks for sharing!

People have a lot of talent and we see that it is not easy to make such a painting but people work hard day and night to make it.

All the pictures are looking good. I liked almost all of those.

And my apologies, as just like the other local street artwork shared previously, there was nowhere to find information about who had done them.

The apology is not accepted. You need to make a transaction if you want me to accept the apology because in this world nothing is free🤣🤣. !LOL

Nice selection of StreetArt especially the firefighter. You're good to take photos from a car, for me it' always blurry. Thanks for sharing these pics on The StreetArt Community.

Have a lovely day

Thank you. The firefighter came out quite nicely. Some photos are blurry too and at times I get lucky to take some that are a bit decent :)
