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.
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.
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 🙂
