For our monochrome shots of today, here's two lovely Jehovah's Witness women who were undeterred by the heavy rain as they take shelter under a shed. They stand side by side beside their booklets and smiling warmly at passersby. As people hurry for cover, the women seize the opportunity to offer their literature and sharing their message of hope and faith with those seeking refuge from the storm. Their determination and kindness shine through as they spread their message under the shed roof.

On the roadside of Session road was a Mandalorian cosplayer stands tall in his impressive armor which is a testament to his dedication to the Star Wars universe. He was also carrying a small but mighty companion - a little Yoda. The cosplayer's helmet and beskar armor glisten in the sunlight, while his cape flows behind him. A tip box sits near his feet awaiting donations from passersby who appreciate his intricate costume and charming display.

Here's a scene as the rain subsides, people emerge to stroll along Lower Session Road in Baguio city. The wet pavement glistens while reflecting the vibrance of the surroundings. With some umbrellas still open, the pedestrians walk casually while taking in the fresh cool air.Some tourists stop to take photos while others simply enjoy the relaxed pace of the city after a strong rain.

Then here's two men that crossed paths on a concrete pavement of Igorot Garden, braving the heavy rain without umbrellas. One wore a jacket which offered some protection from the downpour while the other was only in a soaked shirt. Water dripped from their hair and faces as they rushed to fast walk on to shelter.

Follow me on my street travels.
