There’s a bridge to tomorrow, there’s a bridge from the past
There’s a bridge made of sorrow that I pray will not last
There’s a bridge made of colors in the sky high above
And I think that there must be bridges made out of love
Magandang araw mga ka-LP! Ang lahok ko ngayong linggong ito ay walang iba kungdi ang Jones Bridge na makikita sa Maynila. Kuha ito noong unang EB ng LP noong araw ng Kalayaan noong isang taon.
Ang Puente de España, na nagdudugtong sa Binondo at Ermita, ay unang itinayo noong 1701 kapalit ng Puente Grande na nasira nung lumindol noong 1863. Noong 1916 ay Itinayo ulit ng mga Amerikano ang tulay at isinunod ang pangalan nito kay Atkinson Jones na isang miyembro ng US Congress at chairman ng Insular Affairs Committee na nag-sponsor ng Philippine Autonomy Act ng 1916, o ang mas kilala natin bilang Jones Law. Narito ang larawan ng Jones Bridge noon.

Ang ganda diba? Sayang lang at hindi na-preserve ng gobyerno natin ang dati nitong itsura.
Happy LP!

Happy Thursday everyone! My entry for this week is a photo Jones Bridge which is located in Manila. I took this shot during Litratong Pinoy’s 1st EB last year.
Puente de España, which connects Binondo and Ermita, was built in 1701 replacing Puente Grande, which was destroyed by the earthquake of 1863. The Americans rebuilt it in 1916 and renamed it after Atkinson Jones, a member of the U.S. Congress and chairman of the Insular Affairs Committee who sponsored the Philippine Autonomy Act in 1916 (Jones Law).
