Preparing to Set Sail

Preparing to Set Sail
It has been quite a while since I did travel photography. Looking through some old pictures yesterday brought back some memories of my trip to Scotland in July 2004. I decided to bring out some old files to reprocess. The above was taken at Kyle of Lochalsh on our way to the Isle of Skye. Kyle of Lochalsh had been the location of a ferry link to Skye since 1600. The Skye Bridge, linking Skye with the mainland of Scotland, opened in 1995 and can be seen in the background of this shot. This bridge virtually replaced the ferry link as a mode of transport to the Isle of Skye across.

Some greenery to refresh my tired eyes…

The Kapok trees at the Botanical Gardens in Singapore has always served as great photographic subjects. One of my more recent pictures of these great trees have been selected and will be exhibited at the upcoming Ngee Ann Photographic Exhibition 2006. This particular one was taken way back in 2003 with my old Powershot G3. I like the contrast not only in terms of the lighting, but also the contrast of young against old in the subjects.

Two Rocks

Two Rocks
Digging deep into the archives as I update this photoblog sporadically till I finish my exams (in 17 days’ time!)…

This is a wider view of the “face-rock” (seagull’s nest included) featured in my previous post. I had some trouble recalling the name of the place after visiting it in 2003. Dad had told me that it was called Two Rocks but a search on Google in the past found no information on this landmark except descriptions of a region in Western Australia of the same name. I wasn’t fully convinced of the Two Rocks name till I finally found confirmation here.
