Cagayan De Oro's Night Cafe

Every Friday and Saturday Nights, D V Soria in the city center of Cagayan De Oro turn into a hot night spot. Make shift tents that offers bargain clothes, toys and fruits as well as fly-by-night barbeque and food stalls dominate the area.

This weekend revelry was started by the City Government in 2003 and continue up to this day. So, the night is truly alive in Cagayan De Oro City.

Ako din, i love these B&W pictures. Nakapunta ako dto sa nightmarket sa Divisoria. Ang sarap ng mga barbecue :) hehehe

vinzent said...

There is something about B & W pics. It made you focus on the lights and emotions more. Great shots bro.

luna miranda said...

great idea of posting these night scenes in b&w. looks like hot spot indeed.

Andy Briones said...

Kaka-aliw naman yung pangalan ng bazaar: D V Soria, hehe. :-)

Indrani said...

B&W shots have a charm! And all these shots are so full of life.

the donG said...

i forgot to recommend you to eat the Tiramisu cakes of Candies shop. it's the best Tiramisu that ive tasted.

The Islander said...

dinedma ko lang to nung nagpunta akong cagayan. mas maganda gumala kung saan. pero mas maganda tumambay dito pag dala mo ang barkada. mas masaya...

cyndirellaz said...

ganda ng mga pics! w/ special effects pa ha! nagpapatunay na maganda talaga ang pinas!! ^^

olan said...

agree ako kay The Islander. nasubukan ko ng gumala dito for night cafe alone, boring. but when i went back there with friends, sobrang saya. di namin namalayan 4 hours na pala kami dun. tambay dito tambay doon. ukay dito ukay doon. hahaha. nice B&W photos u have here Oman. wen ka ng CDO?

Mojo said...

Looks like quite a party! The last shot reminds me of a similar event we had downtown last summer. Huge music festival played in a downtown park that's usually "home" to many of the city's homeless. Quite a contrast between them and the partying festival-goers.

This festival looks very similar actually. And for most, a lot of fun!

Great shooting too!

alicesg said...

Love the street scenes. We too had this type of bazaar or night market. It is usually the food vendors that make the most money. :)

Titania said...

How wonderful to have all these markets with great food and fruit. Thats what is happening when great cultures come together. The country with its wonderful nature appeals to me I am not a "citygirl". Thank you for your visit.

Tricia said...

Dramatic in b&w & that 1st one is my favorite - so beautiful all lit up like that!!!

Robert V. Sobczak said...

Vivid black and white photos. That works really well in the night, as the full scale of grays emerge.

MeL said...

Mas naging dramatic ang night shots mo with the B&W shot mode. :)

Raft3r said...

eto pa yun plaza sa bayan?
mukhang familiar, eh
matagal na din kasi ako di napapadpad sa cdo

Reena said...

When we took a vacation in CDO, we only went to the restaurant strip of the city. I can't remember the name of the mall. Basta it sounded Chinese. Anyway, next time I'm there, I will surely look for DV Soria. Hehe.

I'm loving the black and white effects on your photos.

2sweetnsaxy said...

To me there's nothing quite like great black and whites and these are great black and whites. I love the way the lights really stand out in your shots.

Twin said...
