Today’s Memorable Moment
This amazing animal knows nothing about zoos or fencing. Orangutans are found only in Borneo and Sumatra, and Sarawak has the wild population of these intelligent ginger apes. I’m very grateful to have had the opportunity to meet these wild animals in real life. And I believe the quote below by Jane Goodall includes true […]

In the Middle of Nowhere
Here we are again, in the middle of nowhere, where the deserted beach stretches for several miles. At low tide you can walk hundreds of meters straight into the sea without getting more than wet feet. The only sign that indicates that there is plenty of life here are all the patterns in the sand […]

Many of the works portray scenes from local life… …whether it be human or […]

Signs on Sundays / Skyltsöndag
It’s Sunday, which means it’s time to share some signs again. Since I just came back home from Malaysia, my signs are from there. For some unknown reason, wordpress has restricted the possibilities to create a gallery. That’s why it looks like this, though I didn’t want it to look like this. Feel free to […]

Black & White Photography – 4
This is the fourth time I’ve joined Susan’s black/white photo challenge and to me it’s really a challenge, but a fun one. In last week’s b/w post I showed old vehicles but it feels more challenging to edit images of people. Choosing between these two types of editing felt a bit difficult, they are so […]

Sammanhållning (99/365)
Tycker det syns ganska tydligt att det finns en gemenskap här, en genuin sammanhållning dem emellan, att de trivs och har kul tillsammans. Något som man ser mycket av här på gågatan utmed Sarawak river i Kuching.

Ha alla taggar utåt (89/365)
Att vandra i regnskogen betyder att man måste se upp med var man placerar sina händer och fötter. Marken är ofta kuperad, lerig och full av trassliga rötter plus att många trädstammar synes ha alla taggar utåt. De här bilderna är från vår vandring i Bako Nationalpark och klickar du på dem blir de som […]
