Memorial altar in the Pacific War Memorial building,
Corregidor, Philippines. At noon on the 6th of May every year,
sunlight shining through the oculus (round ceiling opening) falls
directly on the center of the altar, marking the time of the surrender
of Corregidor and the Philippines to the Japanese in 1942 (World War II). Click here to enlarge. |
