Litratong Pinoy #42: Kahel (orange)

Ngayon pa lamang ako nakakita ng kulay kahel na kalesa. Sabay pink na kamisa ang suot ni manong kutsero. Ayos di ba? Sana ay pinagsuot din nila yung kabayo ng pink para terno sila ni manong. Marami pang kalesa sa Fort Santiago gaya nito. Iba-iba ang kulay at disenyo. Nagpunta ako roon noong Disyembre upang kumuha ng mga litrato at para silipin ang museo. Ang huli kong dalaw sa Fort Santiago ay noong ako ay nasa kolehiyo pa. Kayo kailan huling nagtungo roon?
