Red Chamber

It's literally been ages since my last post. Gone are my DSLR days, it's just a bit too unwieldy to be spontaneous.

Taken at Isetan Lot 10 with my HTC U11.

spot the difference

Taken in Bogyoke Aung San Market, Yangon. The stall owner was leaning out of the counter at first, which would've made a perfect picture. Unfortunately he spotted me lifting up my camera and shrunk back in before I could snap a picture. Will have to settle for this picture instead.

beautiful mess [1]

As part of its natural defense mechanism, sea cucumbers spill their innards when threatened, so that they have time to escape while its predators feast on its offal. I found this one on the beach, barely a centimeter in length, with its insides beautifully intact

And I guess that's why they call it the blues

I liked this picture so much that it's my iPod Touch's wallpaper =)

Taken at a remote beach in Bali which name escapes me, high up on a cliff. Unlike the more commercial (read: tourist trap) and murky waters of Ubud and Kuta, the water here was crystal clear up to waist level.

show me some skin

Took this during a (mostly disappointing) hike to Gunung Kutu a couple months back. I held my camera with one hand while holding the leaf with the other to prevent the slight breeze from ruining the shot. At the end I finally managed to get a clear shot

crowning glory

Not content with the usual bird shots, I was looking for something unusual when it came to the cockatoos. I was in the bus waiting to leave when I saw this one in the midst of spreading its wings, which proved to be an interesting picture.

Tucked in

Taken at the aviary in Melbourne Zoo (a Brolga, it seems?). Even though this section of the aviary was supposed to simulate tropical climates, I guess it was still too cold for it to bear.

awesome blossom

I've been so damn lazy to update my blog, but since everyone's been asking, here's something I took in the Melbourne Botanical Gardens last week. I'll gradually update my pics over the next couple of months =)
