Thanks! This place was built by the Spaniards during their colony as their fort. The place is big and when you visit it today, you can see Rizal's final path traced inside the entire fort. Yes the last one was HDR. It was my first time to try HDR when I went there. I am just not sure if I did it properly

I suggest you try visit it when you come here in the Philippines. One of those few tourist attractions in Metro Manila. A very historic place. Thanks for viewing!

José Protasio Rizal, was someone I have never heard of until I looked at your pictures, and of course then I needed to look him up and have a read. Every country and culture has its heros, and its important they are not forgotten, they were not afraid to do the right thing. Good post paul
