DAVAO’S WATERY PAST

Hello World! Happy Valentine's Day.. nothing fancy on this side of town. For a change, I'm having a blue Valentine ... lol.

I can't miss a link at Smiling Sally. So I'm sharing my blue today.

I took this sometime ago, just thought of sharing.

These giant shells are on display at Jack's Ridge Restaurant at shrine Hills this city, they were able to unearth this in the process of constructing the resto building ... it was believed that this part of the Earth was under water millions of years ago.

Here's what I have to deal with after my kids had read the stone slab.

Mom, ‘where have all the waters gone?’
Did Little Foot and the gang grow that fast, that they have slurped all the waters that receded that far?

I wonder too  if dinosaurs had wandered on this part of the world... lol.

Unbelievable as it may seem the land you are standing on was under the sea millions of years ago. These Taklobo shells right here at Jack’s Ridge are silent witness to Davao’s watery past.

a view of Davao City's CBD from where the shells are.

    Ive read that planet earth was once a vast space filled with water but that's a theory. All I know is that God created the earth. :-)
