Oblation

We visited my old school which has this statue that serves as the symbol of the University of the Philippines called “Oblation,” which means a “selfless offering.” It was around late afternoon and the sunset was looking quite amazing with this purple hue going on. Right above the statue, I saw this aircraft leaving contrails and to me it appeared like an object falling from the heavens in response.
