Burnham Park 2013 Christmas



I went to MLhuillier Legarda street this evening to send some money to people my friends from abroad wanted to send their remittances. And since there was no customers ahead of me, I finished my business in less than ten minutes.

 From there, I walked to go back to Harrison road while thinking what to do next – should I go to Tiongsan Harrison to buy some groceries or go straight to Diego Silang where my ride home are waiting for their passengers.

But, when I reach Burnham Park I was fascinated to see a corner whereby many people are happy taking pictures. Their backgrounds are the Christmas light decorations made by the city to light the place and let people feel the spirit of Christmas. I saw parents with their children, teenagers with their friends, and of course somelovers enjoying with awe how the place is lighted. As usual, they are taking pictures of themselves for, I am sure, display it on facebook.

Well, my curiosity and the child side of me lorded over and push my feet to go near the lights and - not to be outdone, take images. The truth is I needed fresh pictures to share to the internet, too, but not in FaceBook but to FanBox where every view of my fans and friends can earn me some dollars in 24 hours.

Here are some of the images I captured – not so many because I forgot to bring with me my canon camera so I had to use my Samsung cellphone which was giving me signal it was low on battery after a few shots.

This was the first scene I saw that mesmerized me


This star is blinking beautifully



People are gathering near the those small houses to take pictures of themselves or their kids



This one attracted many children to pose in front of it, so, I had to wait and rushed to take its image



That looks like Candy man



Those are the deers of Santa

Santa clause stands up next to the Candy house

I guess this must called Candy House











Extension of the lights

A star has fallen

There alsi lights around those pots of flowers

People going away after they got pictures

That's Santa Claus

Santa and his deers


An Angel blowing his trumpet

Another Santa is greeting people going into the boating area

On the right side of Santa Claus is an angel blowing his horn

The lake with SM background on the far behind the other light


On the right side of Burnham park

That light seen from Burnham - any guess?

As you gets nearer, the building is well decorated around its body with lights

SM far on the back

The Harisson round from burnham


Hotel Veniz
