Face-off

Nestlé Philippines (left) and PHINMA Plaza (right) share a circular driveway. From afar, they look like they're beside each other. But when you get near enough to see their main entrances, you realize that they're across each other. To me, it looks like a battle of the corporate buildings, refereed by The Manansala, a luxury condominium tower.

  13. Nice perspective shot here.

    Browsing your photos makes me think of home, no real tall building here in Tonga.

    BTW, thanks for stopping by Tonga Daily Photo the other day.

  22. A battle of two buidlings with even a third one as referee, that's a very nice and creative way to see it!
