The Lion's Head - landmark along Kennon Road

Before I continue writing about the more recent trip to Bicol, I'm sharing these photos of the Lion's Head, which is a landmark for people traveling to or from Baguio via Kennon Road.

We left Baguio for Quezon City just after lunch time after our workshop last December. This photo was taken as we approached the Lion.

The scaffolding means the monument is under some renovation or restoration work.

There were few people as we passed the Lion. It was just after noontime on a weekday so I guess there were not as many people as on weekends, mornings or afternoons.

I noticed people like to dress up in local costumes or garments in many tourist areas these days. You see these in photos of people on travel in Korea, Japan and Thailand. So it's not surprising that people would also dress up here. You can rent the clothes and accessories for picture-taking for a small amount of money. There are several stalls renting out these stuff near the Lion's Head.

More photos of recent travels in the following days!
