Manila from a helicopter

It is very interesting to view Manila from the air. Two different styles of urban development are immediately apparent. Most of them are low-rise buildings - traditional structures of the old type. And, as if, sprouted from them are modern multi-story quarters. 

Some areas, even within the city, are more like traditional villages with wooden one-story volumes. About the slums of Manila, the story is in another article - the details of life are visible only at close range.
