All the caves in Mount Banahaw are considered sacred and are named after Biblical persons and locations.

One of the caves I went into was certainly very interesting.

Hey, is that little girl not wearing her undergarments?

You take the most interesting shots Sidney...the milk-drinking , Huggiesless child almost belongs in that group of Santo Ninos!:)

[tina]

nice shots you have. :) ive never been to a cave yet..

in response to your comment: we did not invent the game.. we just copied and improved it from various games.. :P

OK, any place that has giant rats, draws its healing powers from an innate beauty, and is populated with pilgrims, healers, devotees, mystics and a baby hanging out while knocking back a bottle of milk makes for yet another fantastic series of shots and thoughts unique to this photoblog and the photo from march 7 with the light coming through the trees ties it all together (for me)

I heard that Mt. Banahaw is quite mystical. I hope I can pay a visit one day

J'aime bien ces lieux sacrés patiné au naturel, en dehors de la sphère ostentatoire de nos églises.

[Michael Rawluk]

The top two photos are wonderful.

I would love to visit. Looks gorgeous.

Very nice shots. We can feel the spanish influence here!

[Panaderos]

I'm kind of wondering too as to how Mt. Banahaw came to be known as a mysterious mountain. I wonder if any scientists have come to examine the place.

The caves are very interesting. I would wonder how they originally came to be thought of as sacred.
Nice shooting...as always.
