Barcelona! by Ken Ilio (3418) 2007-12-18 - 2007-12-29

It has always been my dream to go to Barcelona ... not any other part of Spain (I am sure they are beautiful too) but just Barcelona. So while I was playing around in expedia early December, somehow, I hit the correct combination that allowed me to fly to Barcelona and stay there for ten days for something I really could afford ... including hotel, breakfast and return flight. So here are some of my pictures from there. (4 photos)

Philippines, January 2007 by Ken Ilio (3418) 2007-01-10 - 2007-01-31

Another trip to the old country. I went back to Bohol and Cebu and of course my home province of Aklan, with a side trip to Boracay Island, and also went up north to the Philippine Cordilleras. (19 photos)

Philippines, January 2006 by Ken Ilio (3418) 2006-01-12 - 2006-01-31

After seven years of being away, I came home for a short visit. Nine provinces in 1 1/2 weeks and about 10,000 photographs (it seems). Here are some. Enjoy! (21 photos)

Chicago, Summer 2005 by Ken Ilio (3418) 2005-05-20 - 2005-09-21

Summer in Chicago is quite glorious. Everyday it seems, there are festivals from big downtown bashes to neighborhood fairs. Lake Michigan is especially gorgeous during the summer. And the whole of the city is just soo photogenic. Here are some pictures I took of my adopted hometown taken during the summer of 2005. (22 photos)

Southern California by Ken Ilio (3418) 2004-08-21 - 2004-08-31

We drove around Southern California starting from San Diego in the South driving to Twenty Nine Palms to the East, Los Angeles to the West and then back to San Diego. This is desert country folks and the photo opportunities are varied - from modern architecture of Los Angeles to the weird stone formations of the Joshua Tree National Park. ...

Upper Peninsula, Michigan by Ken Ilio (3418) 2003-08-00 - 2003-08-00

The Upper Peninsula of Michigan is a new destination for me. It's that stretch of land that straddles the north shore of Lake Michigan and the south shore of Lake Superior. That's the best way I can describe it. ... (full story) (10 photos)

Cordilleras, Philippines by Ken Ilio (3418) 1985-05-00 - 1985-05-00

In 1985, I was fortunate to be a part of an 'exposure' trip to a small village up in the Cordillera mountains of Northern Philippines. The Cordillera group of mountains contains some of the highest elevations in the Philippines including the second highest mountain peak. It's cool (cold for us) pine country in these areas. It is the home of the proud 'uncolonized' tribal peoples who have been in the Cordilleras for thousands of years. ... (full story) (7 photos)

Above Earth by Ken Ilio (3418) 2001-08-00 - 2001-08-00

Flying into and out of California from/to the midwest, I took pictures of the scenery below. Mid America above is spectacular especially if you are flying above Arizona and the Grand Canyon. Northern mid America has its own beautiful geography as seen from above too. (4 photos)
