This gnarled tree evokes “dark” images in my head. I’m a Tim Burton fan, and it’s probably the reason why this photo reminds me of Sleepy Hollow and the Headless Horseman.
This "dark" cavern is near the entrance of the Puerto Princesa Subterranean River, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Palawan. This is one of the longest in the world, with an 8.2 kilometers navigable underground river.To read more about the subterranean river, you can check out my Palawan post.
The Plaza Cuartel in Puerto Princesa, Palawan, has a “dark” past. This was a Japanese garrison during World War II where 143 American POW’s were burned alive by the Japanese Kempetai in December 1944. The ruins of this old garrison are a grim reminder of the atrocities of war.
