Guadalupe MRT Bridge [Sunday Bridges]

@ mirandablue

The Guadalupe MRT (or Metro Rail Transit) railroad bridge through my windshield.  I took these photos while crossing the Guadalupe Bridge at EDSA.  The steel-framed arch railway bridge is for MRT-3, or Blue Line that operates in EDSA.  MRT-3 has 13 stations along its 16.95-kilometer track.  The Guadalupe Bridge, on the other hand, is one of the 13 bridges that crosses the historic Pasig River.

This is going south to Makati City on Saturday afternoon.

Roxas Bridge [Sunday Bridges]

Viewed from the walls of historic Fort Santiago in Intramuros is Roxas Bridge, formerly called the Del Pan Bridge, one of the 13 bridges that crosses Pasig River.  Pasig River stretches 25 kilometers connecting Laguna de Bay, a freshwater lake, to Manila Bay.  Roxas Bridge is the last bridge near the mouth of the Pasig River that opens to Manila's Port Area.

Photo-Hunt: lock

A rusted padlock secures this recessed gate in Fort Santiago, one of the oldest Spanish stone fortresses in the Philippines. The view from this locked postern far north of Plaza Armas is the dying Pasig River, choked with industrial waste and garbage. This gate is called Postigo de la Nuestra Senora de Soledad (Postern of our Lady of Solitude), an escape passage of a Spanish Governor-General in 1762 when British soldiers captured Manila.
