Harmony

Harmony
I last took part in the Canon PhotoMarathon in Singapore 2016 with my father eight years ago. With the event coming back finally after a long hiatus (not helped by the COVID-19 pandemic), I finally dusted off my Canon camera and lenses and headed out with my father for some “photo-hunting”. The first theme for the Photo-Marathon was “Harmony”. Announced at only at 10 AM (registration had started as early as 8 AM), the lighting was already starting to get harsh and less photography-friendly. Given two hours to complete the theme, I settled in the end for a shot of two bridge maintenance workers hard at work under the Read Bridge. This is a Lightroom-enhanced version of the original I submitted (the rules allowed for only photos straight out from camera, with in-camera edits the only form of editing allowed).

Morning Swim At Middleton Beach

Morning Swim At Middleton Beach
It has been a while since I have posted consistently here and I am happy to share another picture I took during our recent vacation trip to Western Australia. The clear waters at Middleton Beach in Albany looked very inviting for a swim. Personally, I would prefer to swim in the comfort of the warm pool waters in Singapore given our very hot weather. However, the much cooler (but still sunny) weather and the approaching winter in Albany did not stop many early morning local swimming enthusiasts for sure!

Wave Power Over The Gap

Wave Power Over The Gap
We made a visit to The Gap and Natural Bridge at Torndirrup National Park during our recent trip to Albany, Western Australia. The views at this easy-to-access (important when travelling with kids!) can best be described at their official website:

“Lookouts at both The Gap and Natural Bridge provide outstanding views of the Southern Ocean and the coast from Bald Head to West Cape Howe. Visitors to The Gap can venture onto the accessible viewing platform 40m above the surging seas.

From the gentle and mesmerising heaving of calm seas, to the buffeting rush of wind and spray of winter storms the experience changes from day to day. A raised pathway leads from the parking and picnic area across the top of the exposed granite ramparts to reach the viewing platform at The Gap. The pathway allows safe access to some of the best views, while keeping vulnerable plants and lichens on the rock surface from harm’s way.”
