Early Morn

There was still some fog when I took this shot at the UP Diliman Oval which has been declared a one-direction road to accommodate the early morning joggers and bikers.

The leftmost lane is now a no-vehicle zone, demarcated by two thick yellow lines, similar to the MMDA’s yellow bus lanes at EDSA. Only joggers, bikers, brisk walkers and even slow walkers are allowed inside this yellow lane.

This seems to have resulted to more people taking advantage of this set-up which ensures safety from vehicles, the four-wheeled variety, that is. These days, the acacia trees in UP and elsewhere are all in “full bloom”, resplendent in their green foliage outstretched to the warm blue sky.

There are a few other places in Metro Manila that have a similar spectacle of age-old acacia trees, arching towards each other on either side on the road producing a canopy that provides some relief from the sweltering heat of the summer sun.
