Being the season of autumn, I decided to make a trip to Badaling Great Wall,Beijing. My first visit to Great Wall was at Juyongguan Pass of Great Wall in 1978. Since then I have revisited the great wall many times. Mutianyu,Jinshanling and Simatai are some of pass that I have visited. I am very pleased with the autumn colour and the misty environment of my recent visit.
While driving towards Las Cruces, New Mexico, USA, we came across this awesome sight of the cloud formation. We could not resist just to exist from the freeway in order to capture this image. I think it is one of the rare phenomenon that hard to come by for photography.
My last Makepung Bull Race session was in 2007. This year’s event held in Negara (14 September 2014), was one of the programs of the 2014 Annual Meeting of the Nusantara Photo Club in Bali. Negara is famous for its thrilling water buffalo races (Makepung), introduced by Madurese migrants to celebrate the end of the rice harvest. The competitive races take place on erratic tracks outside Negara, beginning about 8:00 am before the heat makes the big bulls sluggish. Mostly locals attend this festive event there’s lots of rooting and cheering, and the betting is frantic. The event is very popular among photographers who like to capture the excitement of the race.
