Davao, Protection / Ornamentation

Taking off from the photos of ornamental protection in Manila, here are some from Davao.

Iron patterns.
Some of the most "contemporary" grilling I've ever seen.
Wrought iron, curvy shit topped with sharksfin climbing deterrent and vertical brick-like pattern.
Like rays of a sun.
Bamboo wallage to protect private space, with cross-section accent.

My favorite wrought-iron gate in the world.
