What really is local color? Is it the gleam of a majestic temple festooned with gold dragons and lotus ponds?
La Union - Pindangan Blessed Virgin and Tree in Mono

Is it the ruins of an old church, now lying in silent reverie under the canopy of centuries-old trees guarded by the image of the Blessed Virgin?
