Taken on vacation trips

Face Off

Face Off
This was taken along one of the beaches of Western Australia as my dad and I headed north of Perth (towards the Pinnacles Desert) during our trip there in November 2003. The face-like shape of the rock was already interesting on its own right. Little did we realise that the “hair” was home to a nest of seagulls! I caught this shot of one of the gulls “facing-off” with the rock, a big print of which now hangs decorating the wall in my bedroom 🙂

Update 25 Sep 2007: This picture has been entered in the latest Photo Friday Challenge titled “The Beach”. Please vote for me if you like this shot 🙂

Hay

Hay
The recent images by pfong on Western Australia brought back memories of my 2003 trip there…

Farmscapes of hay fields are common for many living in big countries with temperate weather, but are impossible sights in hot and humid Singapore. I have always dreamt of taking pictures of these hay fields especially after seeing the works of others on the Net. This dream was finally answered during my visit to Western Australia in November 2003. Actually, I didn’t really go out in search for such a scene, but just happened to chance upon it while driving through the rural suburbs with my dad. We just had to stop the car and take some pictures! This was taken by the road-side next to an Australian farm.

Leeuwin

Leeuwin
This post is inspired by the wonderful series on lighthouses by my former guestblogger, James Jordan at Points Of Light.

The lighthouse at Cape Leeuwin, Augusta, Western Australia, is situated on the most south-westerly tip of Australia where the Southern and Indian Oceans meet. This famous landmark is over 100 years old and remains an important working lightstation. I had the opportunity to visit during my trip to Western Australia in November 2003.
