Photo:A Nice Landscape from Putrajaya Wetland

I have nothing much to write today,so herewith I post this photo of a nice place where I stop to drink some water and enjoy the view during my mountain bike ride...

Weekend wetland walk...

At last I managed to get my wife to join me walking at the wetlands.Previously,she was afraid because she was brought in the town and seldom walked in padi fields or jungles like me who loved to roam his kampong and padi fields and wetlands looking for fighting fish and fun..

I did not blame her because when we walk in the wetlands,most of the time we are alone with natural habitats.One can get scared if one walks for 5km and see not a soul.I love walking or cycling in the wetlands because I love to see and listen to the flora and fauna in their natural ambience...Below is one location where I just love to sit and listen to the birds on the trees..

Photo:Catching sunset

Last weekend I spent almost one hour at a beach to snap the colourful sunset.However,the dark cloud was hiding the sun all the way down from 6:30pm until magrib time.Yesterday evening I got lucky while going back to my house from LCCT.My son was driving the car and suddenly I saw  the red sun shining brightly in between the trees just over the horizon.It appeared as if it is moving along the line of trees by the roadside.What a beautiful sight to behold!Quickly,I took out my Nokia mobile phone to snap a few shots as the car cruised along the highway...

One lesson learnt from this sunset capture is that I must get my shooting gears readily available otherwise the  few seconds/minutes given will be lost forever..

New discovery:Nice urban landscape in Putrajaya

I was on my bicycle when I saw this.Nice place for an afternoon tea here.It is near Masjid Sultan Mizan,Putrajaya.

Photos: Morning glory..

As a morning person who wakes early I enjoy many scenic mornings as the sun rises...The colours changes with time.The above  is one snapshot as I was having my morning walk at Putrajaya last Saturday..[taken from behind Masjid Sultan Mizan]

Below is a shot of Masjid Sultan Mizan  as we came down from Menara Alaf Baru[the one the looks like a missile standing tall in the above photo]

 

Light by design

This is one example where I saw a  nice design of the roofs to get some natural light into a building.Lately,I observed that a few residential buildings are having too much glass.It is a really good business for curtain makers and air-condition suppliers

Personally,I love to see more natural light in a built environment but at times it is too hot.Balance is very important.Not only that, the locations of these "see through walls" need more thoughts by the designers.

Different views..

We can see different views at the different time even at the same place.The difference comes about due to the time and the human and animals activities.What we see and experience also depend on our fast or slow we are passing that point in space and in time.Our lives are the sum of our daily experience;it is boring,then it is boring.But we have a choice,a choice to make it better and enrich our lives-no matter what our social and economic status.What happens around us is beyond our control and what matters more is what is our respond to it.

Let us savour some of the good moments of our lives and live our lives to the full and not sleeping through it.This photo shot below is one moment that many of us missed it because we were sleeping or heedless of it.Have a good weekend to all...

 

Rainbows

When I was a kid in the 50's,I heard a folklore story about the pot of gold is located where the rainbows meets the horizon.By the way,no one then told us how the rainbows happens after a rainfall...

Two weeks ago I went to JB to visit my son who was working there then.When he took me around JB,I noticed a lot of new highways and interchanges within the city.

As we approached Danga Bay,I saw the existing road being widened into the sea.I don't know about the new development going to take place there,but my fervent hope is to see a newly rehabilitated beach along the road where children can go and play and old folks like me can sit around enjoy the scenery and read books...

Below is a photo of Danga Bay I took 7 years ago..
