Africa XVI: MMOOAAR Serengeti!!!

Clouds over the great plains.


Crocodile.


Watching, waiting...


Sparring Impalas.


"Grrrrr...."


Evening over the Serengeti.


Silhouette of a great tree on the evening sky.


Our last night at the Serengeti...

Taiwan XXIII: Kenting (垦丁) at Night

The setting sun reflected on the roads, not yet dried from the previous rain.


Colourful signboards adorn the streets.


The sky on fire =)


Smelly Yikang Toufu (臭豆腐)


How many cars do they need to chop up to set up their stall??


So many prawns..

Taiwan XI: Mt Hehuan (合欢山)

As we went higher and higher, the fog became thicker and thicker..


To infinity, and beyo-


Driving on a foggy, dreamy road..


Our transport, stopping for a toilet break..


A lucky break in the clouds to allow a view of the mountains


At the edge of the world..


Sub-10 degree Celsius. And we were wearing t-shirt and shorts.


Stand (and sit) tall..


Mirror mirror on the road


At the peak.. 3394m above sea level


Yikang the metro


Endless range of mountains..


Standing at the top


Panorama of the mountain ranges, click to enlarge!


The conquerors of Mt Hehuan


The setting sun..


The sea of clouds


House in the clouds..


The final rays of the sinking sun


Another panorama! Click to enlarge!!

Taiwan III: Taipei, Danshuei (淡水)

Ok this is not Danshuei, but the streets of Taipei city center..


Taking the MRT (捷运) to Danshuei. My sis failing at feigning sleep..


Danshuei looks and feels very different from Taipei city center..


The sun was slowly setting as we walked towards the Fisherman's Warf (渔人码头)


The setting sun cast interesting shadows and reflections on the walkways..


Boats parked on Danshuei river


Met this tiny dog on the streets..


Shady green trees..


Sun setting over the Fisherman's Warf (渔人码头)


Lots of shops here


The bridge lit up nicely


Long exposure of the mountain opposite the habour


Another shot of the bridge before we left

Taiwan I: The Flight There

We boarded the Cathay Pacific flight (Singapore-Hong Kong-Taipei) on the 4th of June 2009..


Happy friends on the flight to Taiwan.


View from the flight cabin. The ships look like toys.
