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 […]

Kuching is a colorful place and the city is becoming a popular haven for street art. Thanks to local arts festivals and even corporate sponsorships, more and more of the town’s blank walls are gradually being taken over by vivid murals.

Lens-Artists Challenge – On Display
Today’s pictures are from Kuching Sunday Market that I visited recently. I’m not so happy to show headless and half people though it’s not easy to avoid when there are so many people moving around. Here you’ll find a huge variety of different kinds of fresh fruits & vegetables. Guess it was high season for […]

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 […]

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 […]

Comfort
It may not look so comfortable but when I saw this man I felt that he had fun. Seeing the fun in an uncomfortable situation shows that the man has an open mind who enjoys his comfort. Some may feel the comfort of a cold beer after a hard day’s work while others choose a […]

WPC – Growth
Growth in nature provides nutrition to fruits and vegetables. We use leftovers as decorations. There was a wedding that took place here high above the clouds. No greenery without growth. Growth among clouds and mountains high above Kota Kinabalu town. Growth puts people at work who provide food for themselves and the people. At the […]
