You know you're in Metro Manila when you see coconut trees along the road swaying in the breeze under a bright blue summer sky filled with fluffy white clouds—beside utility poles with messy, tangled cables. Taken during an afternoon stroll around our neighborhood.
Visit the Sky Watch Friday home page and tour the skies of our beautiful world.

Yes, so familiar. Typical Manila.
It might be a bit messy but I like it. What lovely trees...Have a nice weekend. Ciao. Antonella
Great, I also shoot wires a lot!
We seem to have the same ideas about visual pollution, Hilda. I love the way you've caught those frondy leaves swaying in the wind.
You are right - those hydro lines do look messy!!
But a great shot of the breeze in the fronds and wires.
Oh dear, Hilda, I have such a hopeless memory...help me, please!
c'est très exotique, dommage tous ces câbles électriques. Mais c'est le problème partout.
it is very exotic, damage all these electrical cables. But it is problem everywhere
Love those coconut trees! Do the coconuts fall off on the ground?
Wires are everywhere. I don't notice them until I look at the pictures I've taken and then I see them.
Ok this is fantastic but my question is with those coconuts do they ever fall down on there own and hit anyone?
I would love to see a palm tree in person. Great shot.
Wonderful trees and sky! I guess the cables are messy, but necessary!
The tree on the right seems to be really full of coconuts. Don't walk right under them Hilda! :-)
They are very pretty Hilda! We have palm trees around here, but they seldom get that tall.
those trees compete with the electrical posts or maybe the other way around.
Nice photo for Skywatch Friday!
Thanks for sharing.
It looks pretty cool to me. I live in the tropics too but I guess we don't get tired of coconut trees huh!?
nice clear sky and messy cables with palms separating them
Interesting sky watch. I think they call these things Street Furniture. I call it unsightly! Great photo though :)
Hello Hilda!
Wonderful blue sky!
Have a great weekend in your beautiful city!
Kind Regards
Léia :-)
Its starnge to think what is familiar to one part if the world is so lain to another. This is a image I just wouldn't see here, lovely sky though.

This is so Asian to me. The tangle of scary wires next to beautiful trees.
HIlda:
You always have such great titles!
swinging in the breeze!
=) such tall coco trees! higher than the wires! oh my.. anyway.. thanks for visiting me!
Our sky is always gray
The palm trees make it look like the best place to be, even if it IS windy!
Beautiful! Coconut trees are beautiful when swayed gently by the winds especially at the beach..
This is a great picture combining Nature and human civilisation. I enjoyed visiting 'your' Manila.
