I missed Photo Hunt for two weeks or three. I was out the past weekends. It's good to be back in this Photo Hunt meme. This week's theme is Curvy. I'm sharing the view of Kennon Road, also knows as the Zigzag Road. It is a 32 kilometer highway going to Baguio City. This is one of the routes leading to the Philippines' summer capital. Some people prefer going this way since it is faster but it is not so safe during the rainy season. But the view as one goes up the mountain is simply majestic.
There's also the famous lion's head which doubles as a view deck. A lot of motorists stop and take pictures here, like me and my daughter. :)

What a road! I don't know how well I'd handle that one! The lion's head is magnificent.
WHOA! Those are some audacious curves! NICE job!!!
Very cool...we have roads similar to that in Tennessee. Going up to the mountains for the day can make you sick it's so curvy! Everything in your photos is sooo green!!!
Perfect choice Lynn. Baguio certainly have the most curvy roads I've ever been to.
It's been several years since my last trip there but I will always have fond memories of that special place.
nice choice for this theme
kennon road... unarguably very curvy road... hope I could visit baguio again
nice take for this weekend theme, that dangerous curves sooo scary...
thanks for visiting and hope you still have time here AniqueAnik
Wow, that is quite a curvy road. Hope you are having a great weekend!
Georgous view! I was hoping for some curvy roads this week! Thanks for visiting me. :)
That sure looks beautiful. I like the look out point too,... I think I would be on to stop and take a photo too. Have a good weekend.
I haven't seen you for a long time. I haven't been to Baguio but heard lots about it. I intend to make a trip there the next time I'm in the Philippines.
We have something like this in the place I am staying but not so nice as the view of Kennon Road that you are showing, and no lion's head for photo shooting as well. What we have here is pretty boring, just a curvy road. :/
Woooowww... what a curvy road! This is undoubtedly curvy!
that lion is also magnificent... great choice Lynn..

Impressing road. How is to drive down there?
great entry for today’s theme
have a great weekend!
Oh there are lots of curvy roads like that in Morocco as well - they make me so dizzy!
Happy Weekend.
awesome pic..i mean the lion's head
Great pair of photos! That is quite the curvy road and the lion's head is very cool. :)
My curvy photos.
What a road! I'm not sure I would be able to drive it :)
Those are both great shots. I'd love to drive up that road but I can see that it would be dangerous in bad weather. Have a great weekend.
Wow! Great shots especially the giant lion head!!! Happy photo hunting! :)
My goodness what a road! It certainly is curvy and I really wouldn't want to drive on it, though that wonderful view could tempt me:)
this are neat..I never been to baguio and I wish I can visit the place one of this days. TC
Gorgeous!
Very neat photos! That is certainly a curvy road!
Indeed that is one curvy road. Don't think I'd like to drive on it wet or dry. But the view is absolutely breathtaking.
What a great shot! Those are some curves!
Great choices!! That road looks fun to travel on.
What a gorgeous view!
What a road -- and what a great photo of it! Thanks for sharing! :)
Baguio City tops curvy roads. I remember as a child, I'd will myself to sleep before the zigzag road because I get dizzy, :D
Have a great Sunday, Lynn. Can't sleep yet.
what a nice road! I love pictures of roads like that!
LOVELY!!!
Curvy road indeed!
sayang, we didn't get the chance to go to Baguio when we went home last August... great photo!
just blog hopping...
That road does look curvy! I like the lookout too, pretty funny!
Oh your photos made me homesick. I miss Baguio, have lots and lots of childhood memories spent among the pines. I haven't been there in 10 or so years (maybe 15????) and have no idea when the next visit will be but it has such a special place in my heart.
What an amazing road. I bet the journey is breath-taking. Perfect pic for this week's theme. Have a great weekend!
I love the natural curves and the curves in the lion too. What a pretty locale.
I enjoy the curvy road and enjoy the view into the valley even more. It's an intriguing picture!
wow, those curvy roads remind me of the roads on St. Thomas and St. John! Must be an island thing :-)
good choice i like both what a cool site to see on the roadside Ilove to find those and get those quirky little fun shots
that's really a winding road or in this case a curvy road :P
great take on this week's theme ;)
You're right about having the same theme. Yours is quite an impressive road...makes me want to go out driving ;-)
that's mountain view is so beautiful. thanks for sharing. But... er... the lion head is rare, interesting but a bit scary! :)
i like the second pic. looks really great.
Super choices for this theme! Have you seen mine?
nice curvy entry!
thanks for the visit and till next week!
I love the big lion and that's one scary road! I would love to go there to take pictures though. Would have to bring loads of memory cards...
what an amazing "sculpture" (is that the right word?) i wonder if were brought or created on site? It appears like marble?
What a curvy road. I'd have to drive so slowly on that but it looks like it's worth it.
Awesome pix! I'd be stopping by the lion too!
Thanks for stopping by mine :)
I thought I already saw this but I didn't lea ve a comment so it must have been while having laptop connection troubles. It is such a curvy road, I think I would be holding onto my seat. I often do as we go into the mountains here.
Thanks for all the comments. Most are in awe of the curvy road leading to Baguio. It's manageable, there are more crooked roads actually in the Philippines. :)
The lion's head is a famous landmark obviously. Maybe 90% of Filipino families who'd been to Baguio through Kennon Road has a souvenir picture with the lion's head. :)
What a lovely shot for this weeks theme. Those roads sure look curvy and looks like lots of fun :D Will definitely make it a point to visit the lion's head if I'm ever in the area. Thanks for dropping by my curvy
