As part of our road trip, here are some olden style windows all found in Ilocos, the northern part province of the Philippines.

These are the traditional Capiz on wooden sliding windows.
What is a capiz window?
Capiz (Kapis) shell windows and doors were originally used in the Philippines. … The capiz comes from the windowpane oyster found in the coastal waters of the Philippines and are known for their beautiful mother of pearl look.

Those capiz windows/shutters look beautiful and I love the patterns made by that grille – just the sort of thing I love to photograph myself!

It is a procession where beautiful ladies ride the carriages and they parade all over the town. But unfortunately they weren’t there yet and I couldn’t wait for them.
