A city of shoemakers
Marikina City is known as the shoe capital of the Philippines. The industry started here back in 1887 and it continues to be the biggest source of leather goods in the country. The city lies in a valley, and the hills in the background are part of the Sierra Madre mountain range. The green area in the foreground (behind the tree that's blocking the view) is the Loyola Memorial Park, a cemetery. I took this photo from the ridge that marks the eastern border of the Ateneo de Manila University, which is in Quezon City. The orange glow is merely a reflection of the sunset behind me.

Beautiful view Hilda I love the orange glow.
I wonder if that's where Emelda Marcos was born? :-)
I like your title and the relative story, the view is a bit hazed but this is what probably enhances the beautiful orange glow.
Love your photo, Hilda, and of course your commentary as usual. I enlarged the photo and it is quite striking! I suppose you could call the area Sole City?
Nice view. I like the reflection of color.
It is a gorgeous glow Hilda!
Fabulous sky dear Hilda!
Well done
Léia :)
Very nice view of the city... Looks like there's a glow :)
Joy to You

superb panorama, with nice colours
I like Jacob's "Sole City". Would you take the "Sole Train" there?
Beautiful photo Hilda. Love the glow too.
Lovely, nice one Hilda.
Thank you Hilda for the Geography lesson. It's good to refresh my memory of what I learned in the elementary days. Great view!
sunsets are always pretty to look at from a high spot
Seeing this picture makes me want to go out and focus on horizon lines. The undulating hills are so visually interesting.
A nice addition to Skywatch.
This is interesting!
And the shoes? Where are the shoes? I love shoes!
oh my God! Your home is gorgeous:)
I like the view you've captured with the mountains and the glow in the sky above them.
this photo is worth my two thumbs up! it actually look like it's somewhere else and not in the metro.
it looks a bit of baguio to me.
Beautiful photos!!
