2 Year Anniversary of Typhoon Ketsana: Manila, Philippines

Philippines, typhoon,

The center of this picture is the giant, all white, Marikitna statue -the symbol of the city Marikina, just east of where the massive typhoon claimed 500 lives on September 26th, 2009. The white statue is photographed from an angle that accents the height to commemorate the losses, but also the new lives and growth since the catastrophe. The bleak color of the sky also helps contrast the flower and emphasize the statue as a whole.The flower in the center of the statue's chest is the only bright colored accent in the entire picture. It also represents both a memorial and possibly something beautiful that the city still holds.
