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.

“Am I The Handsomest Of Them All?”

'Am I The Handsomest Of Them All?'
This was intended to be my entry for Photo Friday‘s challenge on “Vanity”. I missed the submission deadline by a couple of hours though :(. Anyway, this picture was taken in November 2003 when I visited Swan Bells in Perth, Western Australia. Despite having to attend a conference by 9am, I managed to sneak out some time at about 6am to take some pictures. I was greeted by brilliant lighting even at such an early hour, and was rewarded with this shot.

Meanwhile, do check back again in a few days’ time for a new guestblogger’s entry 🙂
