I am working on a cruise brochure project that requires me to have 2-3 photographs of scenes from or around Manila Bay that would be instantly recognizable to most folks who live in the area. Unfortunately, I neither live or have visited the area, so I am completely out of my depth here.

The location must show the water and some kind of landmark that would be (ideally) as recognizable as, say, the Sydney Opera House–at least to those who live in the area.

Thanks!

Thanks Picker, I actually did try that. What I’m looking for are comments from real, live people who actually live there (or have been there) so I can see if there are any specific coastal landmarks within the bay that most/many people can agree on.

Maybe you could send a pm to **manila** , a doper who loves the city and spends a lot of time there.
