Like what I've said in my last post, I met up with new friends last Saturday and together we explored the walled city of Intramuros. While in Fort Santiago, brother asked me to take a picture of him, and when he was climbing one of the walls to pose for a picture, I noticed this monkey figurine on the corner along with some of the concrete debris. I don't know why it was there (maybe it was thrown away because it was broken), and I don't know what's the connection of the monkey to the place, but it did caught my attention and I just couldn't help not to take a shot of it. Brother was upset a little because I took a photo of the monkey first, but one of our companions actually raved at how I took notice of the monkey.
It looked a bit eerie, so even if I wanted to take it home, I just can't. =) FYI, Fort Santiago is where the national hero Dr. Jose Rizal was imprisoned before his execution in Luneta, now known as the Rizal Park.

Good eye to see the red monkey among the debris. Nice shot!
ReplyDeleteHe is a cute little monkey. Of course you would want a pic of him!
ReplyDeleteThe red ape looks as if he has found a home, like he is leaving his lair looking for food and excitement...
ReplyDeleteThis is a very interesting picture!
ReplyDeleteJunie
You have an eye for taking interesting photos!
ReplyDeleteI think it looks a little eerie also!
ReplyDeleteHe looks like a hidden treasure! I did my very first Ruby Tuesday this week.
ReplyDeleteWhat a find! I love the weathered look it has.
ReplyDeleteDid you keep it or leave it there?
Looks like ruby monkey has gain hold of the peach :P
ReplyDeleteHappy Ruby Tuesday :)
Looks like that poor red monkey has seen better days. Now he's immortalized for Ruby Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteNice little monkey.
ReplyDeleteVery cool and a little freaky. I would have taken a picture of the monkey first, too :lol:
ReplyDeleteFound objects are often great photo subjects. Very nicely done.
ReplyDeletegood picture - it is a good thing to always have ones camera with one. :)
ReplyDeleteMaybe he can be picked up and painted (red) and saved! Great post for Ruby Tuesday! :)
ReplyDeleteI find myself looking for red anywhere I go too! This was a very good find!
ReplyDeleteNice find!
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I love the way you composed the shot!!
ReplyDeleteThe weathered look adds so much character to the monkey.
That's a great photo for Ruby Tuesday! I think the monkey does look a bit eerie though :O)
ReplyDeleteNice shot. He looks like he has seen better days. I think he looks a touch diabolical myself. But interesting, especially in bright red.
ReplyDeleteYou have a good eye. If I had seen this, I would have taken the picture, too. IT is interesting -- and rather sad -- laying there discarded.
ReplyDeleteInteresting!
ReplyDeleteIt was a good idea to take its picture for Ruby Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteAwesome Monkey! Good Ruby Tuesday to you!:D
ReplyDeleteWhat an interesting find. Good eye!
ReplyDeleteNow that is unique! A red monkey is perfect for Ruby Tuesday.
