For A Hot Lazy Afternoon…

 

Macro & Close Up – Part 9

Finally I have some times to pick up my camera again, at least yesterday evening.  Been quite busy recently, as usual, it’s near end of the year.

Sabah Hospitality Fiesta 2010

Kota Kinabalu Runway

It was a Public Holiday yesterday, and my friend suggested that we go to shoot some aeroplane.  It’s a hot day, and there was no shade for us to take cover.  So took a few snaps and left.

North Borneo Kota Kinabalu Train

Went to the train station to have some simple shots yesterday with a friend.  The old steam train is no longer available, unfortunately.  Left only the carriages.

And the old train was replaced with a more modern unit, although the couch on the waiting platform was left untouched. Train service is currently unavailable.

Tamu Besar Kota Belud 2010

The biggest open-air market in Sabah, held once a year.  The best time to see the faces, costumes, and the culture of one of the local races – Bajau.  More info available here.

Some of the items that were selling at the market.

Besides the busy market, it was like a DSLR show-off day too.  Almost 2 out of every 10 people were carrying DSLR, and a lot of them were carrying more than one unit too.  This kid did attract some attention.

 

Having an infant doesn’t mean that you have to stop from outdoor activity.

 

This is one nice looking girl.
