Ortigas Center skyline
I've finally decided to join Scenic Sunday, a photo meme of scenery, and this is my first entry for it. Of course, this being Metro Manila, I'm going to end up posting mostly urbanscapes. Like this one of the Ortigas Center skyline. Like the mall scene I posted last November, I took this from the 7th level of Shangri-La Plaza mall's carpark building. The low, wide building is SM Megamall and to its right is the capsule-shaped Edsa Shangri-La hotel with its roofdeck tennis courts.

Wondeful composition, and beautiful scenery of the city.
What a wonderful shot! I love the clouds...
Very impressive! Nice capture. Skyscrapers of Manila look brilliant! I like them:)
It looks thriving and prosperous and I really like the rooftop tennis courts..cool use of space.
That's a nice overview. It really looks like a megamall!
Looks like an impressive place!
Beautiful pic!

Welcome to SS and your first post is awesome...
PS..you really have to go to Bora for once... :)
wow, i like this shot. i didn't know edsa shang has tennis courts on that roof deck. pero parang mainit, diba? i hope they transform the other portion of that deck to landscaped gardens. anyway, uso naman yun ngayon plus it would be an added attraction to their hotel...:)
What a wonderful surprise! I knew it was going to be a beautiful picture as soon as I knew it was from Manila.
What I wasn't expecting to see was a picture of a city. Thanks so much for this.
I usually only get to see beautiful landscapes from your country.
You did a fantastic job capturing this shot.
Thanks for taking the time so that we all get to enjoy it.

Your Manila city skyline is very impressive and the city has come a long way since 1953 and 1954. Wow. Impressive.
Welcome to Scenic Sunday. This is a gorgeous cityscape against those dark clouds. Very well done!
Fantastic shot Hilda! It really gives me a good idea of what the city looks like. I love the clouds! P.S. I have one more moss pic tomorrow!
Great photo Hilda! So much to see :)
A reminder to me that I really don't live in a big city!
this really is a wonderful image of your town. I love the trees and clouds, making it feel very scenic.
I just joined today too! I like your shot. Mine will be the opposite. I live in a little town in Paraguay and I will be showing mostly rural areas....
Stunning picture of the city. I am always in awe of the photos you capture. Bravo, Hilda and Thank's for your visits ;)
That's a very nice view. Great composed image.
That is such a marvellous cityscape.
Manila is a megalopolis from what I see in your photos. Do you live in the city, Hilda
Great view. You have some interesting looking buildings. Nice shapes and lines.
What a huge city you live in and so modern. I guess I didn't know this. Lovely panorama!

Miss ko na rin ang megamall hehe
Love the scene, nice composition. :)
That's a stunning view! Stop by my blog today to pick up an award...
I usually like skylines but this praticularly impressive. Like the idea of playing tennis on a rooftop but where get the lost tennis balls? Ciao. A.
Marc:
It is! But it's not the biggest in the metro anymore.
Abe:
I've seen pictures from the 50s — I think I like it better then.
PJ:
Metro Manila is made up of 17 cities and latest estimates say it has 12 million people. Does that make for a megalopolis? And yes, been living here my entire life, but in a relatively quiet part of it.
Antonella:
We're wondering the same thing! :D
Crisp and clear and well-composed, Hilda. A very nice shot and appropriate one for your first participation in the Scenic Sunday.
i also had the chance to take a shot from there. beautiful!
