Bridges of Leyte


Leyte is home of not only that famed bridge called San Juanico Bridge, but of bridges whose number can be so easily noticed, recurring every 5 minutes of your time on a road trip. These bridges over rivers link cities and towns of this very mountainous province.

The last time, which was last year, I traveled by bus in Leyte. I made it a point to capture its bridges along the way. I have seen and often forgotten they exist for the many times I've visited the province maybe because land trips could be so tiring, and I mind too much gathering energy for the next stop. But it changed last year. I did capture about 20 bridges or anything close to that, I couldn't be too sure.

  4. Hi, Joemill!

    Ganda ng collage mo. I love all your pictures. I've been to Leyte but only in Ormoc and Baybay. I miss the places already. I have lots of relatives in those places I have mentioned and planning to visit them one day.

    Sorry for the late visit. It is school holiday here and can't stay longer in the computer for the kids are at home. anyways, wish you a Happy Easter.

  7. thanks everyone!

    @Raft3r: Never been to San Juanico bridge but hopefully this May. :)

    @Random: Most of these pix were taken while I was on a bus. So it was hard getting the best angle. :)

  8. This post reminds me of the movie "Bridges of Madison Country."

    BTW, I'm never been to San Juanico bridge. I am hoping to cross that bridge someday. :)
