#1000 - More Monochrome Street Scenes for Friday.

Lovely weekend dearest Hiveans! You ever noticed before how a single seed can grow into a big tree? Our potential is like that tiny little seed, so small yet so powerful. Don't underestimate the impact of them small actions, no matter how tiny it is. Every little kind word, every small act of courage, every tiny moment of kindness plants a seed.😉

Onto our daily shots in monochrome still for Friday, I will be featuring the colored versions soon. The busy streets of Baguio are a vibrant where people from all walks of life casually stroll along the roadside. The scene is full of energy with small stores lining the streets and each one offering a unique array of goods. Ready to wear or rtw apparel stores display racks of clothing enticing passersby. Drugstores alsovcater to the health and wellness needs. Food stores with the aroma of fresh foods and snacks while appliance and electronics stores showcase the latest cheap gadgets and appliances. The roadside is like a chaotic market.

Here is a scene at the roadside of Baguio's Burnham Park where the bicycle rental area are full of energy and laughter. A young boy rides solo on a rented go-kart like bike and navigates the path with confidence. Behind him was a group of teens with their voices filled with laughter, the group ride a four-wheeled bike with the pedals on the back seat. The scene is full of pure joy shared by all, young and old.

Another scene at Baguio's Burnham Park lake where agentle chaos unfolds as two boats, one has a panda bear design and the other a swan. Suddenly the boats collide with a soft thud but passengers on both were not worried, all smiled it seems. The panda bear boat bumps gently against the other. Fortunately, the impact is minimal, the boats barely rocked and all thanks to their slow pace. The tourists were startled but safe with their laughter. This minor accident is a common occurrence on the lake.

Lastly at the Malcolm Square in Baguio City where a circle of large, round seats invites people to gather and rest. The scene is a mixture of the young and the old people. Many, especially the younger one were focused in their phones, lost in the digital world. In contrast, the elders prefer a quieter pace and chose gentle conversations. Some people justvsit in silence.
