An Old Building, A Silent Witness

A bike … a jeepney … a remodelled jeepney and an old building …
A silent witness to events told and untold, an old building stands ravaged by time 
Downtown. Iloilo City, Philippines

Downtown. Iloilo City, Philippines

but the rich stories that unfolded in its time will remain eloquently written on its walls.

I have seen and heard stories of the other side of the Old Days especially during the war era.  I’m sure, a lot has remained burried deep in the brick walls, unknown to all …. if only the walls could whisper a word … but perhaps, they do, that oftentimes when you walk into a room of an old building, words-in-silence are deafening and senses are awakened to muted stories only the inner ears could hear through an energy suppressed within the walls … a mere assumption? imagination? or a monologue from a parallel vibration? …   

(While in the car, we passed by this old building in the downtown area of the City. The sight of this old building (one of the many in this City) just made me grab my camera …. point and shoot.)
