The parish church of Our Lady of La Porteria, one of the six in the town, gets the much needed roof renovation. While inside the church the opened roof allowed us to watch clouds swiftly pass by but so strenuous to one’s neck looking up. So we don’t encourage skywatching this way unless one manages the ongoing construction.
For this current repair project, the thrust is to make the roof more sturdy and withstand strong typhoons that is a seasonal occurrence this side of the Pacific.
I remember when we were little, while church service is going on, we can see bats fly overhead and making “bat” sounds for the creatures have illegally relocated and formed colonies on the ceilings. But that was long ago for the parish took cognizance of the problem and the interior was flushed of the critters for good. That was a great relief.

The frames make for a very interesting pattern. I hope the construction finishes before the summer is in full swing!
Happy Friday and happy weekend!
must feel good to pray under a partial roof!
Looking forward for the finishing touches.
Great angle and captures.
Happy weekend.
Hi Japa! Thanks for dropping by, yea, the discomfort was more than made up for the lovely time we spent on the coast and the pictures we managed to capture!
I would have loved to hear the sounds of bats in that church!! 🙂
how old is the church? some of the older ones date back to the 15th century dont they? yours looks like such a lovely quaint little one! 🙂
i’ll try take some church ones here in kl soon!
Hope the church gets restored. Love the sky peeking through the empty roof in the first shot.
Very interesting post!!! Thanks for sharing!!!
Nice blog!
Have a great weekend

Very interesting! Watching the sky inside a skeletal roof… cool!
That is an interesting post. A church without a roof doesn’t sound too nice. Hopefully it will soon be fixed.
Interesting. Lovely pattern by the frames against the sky.
Hope the weather stays fine for you & the roof. Thanks for your visit.
Great shots. I love the interaction of past and present in this kind of work.
Beautiful view of the sky through the church roof framing. Good that the roof is being replaced
Japa: Neat shot of the sky through the open roof, that was a neat capture.
Beautiful shots and memories.
