As I mentioned in my last post, we visited this waterfront mall in the city of Cebu, IL Corso, and had lunch there with the family. It is one of my favorite places to dine because of its location. And, I want to share with you one of the structures that I like in IL Corso, the lighthouse. Every time I go there, the moment I stepped out in the parking lot, it is the first thing that my eyes would notice, not because of its height, but for the thought that I am amused every time I see it. Because when I see a lighthouse, I always remember what my late grandfather told me. It's kind of personal but want to leave it that way. So that day, I have unexpectedly captured it at last after several times of revisiting the place.
The lighthouse was located just a few meters from where we had our lunch. So upon entering the restaurant, and logged in with our names in the customer's list, I couldn't stop staring at the tall structure behind us. So I took out my phone and did one shot. Then, we went inside. After lunch, while resting after a feast that we shared at our table, we decided to capture some beautiful photos of the place, and that includes the lighthouse.
This lighthouse is painted white. The structure was situated just a few meters from the boundary of the mall from the sea. The lower part of it has these clear glass walls from almost all sides with a huge glass door. Upon looking at the upper ground, it has an access to the second level of the mall. Then, as I looked higher, near the top, there were windows, if I spotted it correctly. And on the highest layer, I observed glass walls. Then, upon observing closely on the wall, I noticed that it has a vertical parallel design. And, it has eight sides in total. We looked at it on top, it was in an octagon shape, as captured by the drone. That was amazing.
The weather was really beautiful that day. We couldn't see any traces of unwanted dark clouds. I kept on looking up high from where I stood just across the lighthouse, and I loved how the white structure just went on with the perfect color of the blue sky. I was literally smiling while framing the angle with my mobile phone. Maybe it was the reason that I did not care how long I stood there, watching the view while the sun was really striking hot with no shades at all. A good thing that the sea breeze swept my sweat away. And in one angle, looking straight at the ocean, a glimpse of the ongoing CCLX bridge can be seen.
I was imagining what would be the view at the top. I wanted to enter it at that time, but we were about to leave already. So maybe next time.
