A short weekend road trip to Endau Rompin. It rained on my hiking plans but still I enjoy being on the east coast of the peninsula. Who wouldn’t with stunning visuals on display :)

Last in the Sunset Series. Endau Rompin, Malaysia.
Sunset in panorama. Though this the tropics, you can get dramatic sunsets post a thunderstorm. Here is one in a panorama, stitched from 4 images. Endau Rompin, Malaysia.
Sunset, The foreground was a fresh palm plantation and I have gotten sick of palm by this time... Endau Rompin, Malaysia.
Storm Clouds near Endau Rompin, Malaysia
It was a heavy downpour in the Taman Negiri Endau Rompin. One can not go on any hikes in this weather. But driving around has its benifits. There is this tree that looks like a pig sitting on a perch (who said pigs can't fly). I also sighted a Tapir, in the wild. Wohoo, thats a sight to behold... No pictures though the feller was extremely shy. Endau Rompin, Malaysia.
Landscape in Mono. During every visit to Malaysia I cannot help but feel that the landscape has changed. The scale of deforestation is simply mind boggling. Endau Rompin, Malaysia.

Recently, I was in the Pacific NW riding the bike and having a generally merry time. Not sure I have anything to intrest the audience here but for a start, here is a photo gallery. I will look for stories to write when inspiration strikes :)

Wildflower. Hillsboro, OR, USA.
Wild flowers are all over the place. Would be nice to live in one of the shacks back there. Hillsboro, OR, USA.
Logie Trail should be the toughest climb I cound do on a Brommie. I had to pretend to stop and take pictures to catch my breath. Hillsboro, OR, USA
Isn't is much fun to cycle along fields of wild flowers... This was fun in the flats once the hills started, there was little energy to admire the scenery. Hillsboro, OR, USA
Diamond Lake, OR, USA. Panorama from 6 images.
Crater Lake, OR, USA. Panorama from 6 images.
Swim but stay away from sunburn. The temp was 30C+ and the water was a cool 4-5C. Crater Lake, OR, USA.
Crater Lake, OR, USA. Panorama from 6 images.
Nuff said. Let them swim in peace. Crater Lake, OR, USA.
Almost an abstract study. I thought it might make a good print some day. Crater lake, OR, USA.
Critters need to be photographed :) Crater Lake, OR, USA.
Enroute to Crater lake. We wanted to bike this route. But, really, look at how far the road goes (40 miles) And it was constantly climbing. Good thing we chose this to be a rest day. Crater Lake, OR, USA.

In the meantime, enjoy!

Photo Gallery – Fuji Rock Festival

Here is an experimental gallery I am working on to keep track of my experimental hobby, photography. If you are interested, pop by there and have a look

Two ways to prepare for rain. Get your colorful rain jackets out or just fill up on Heiniken and dont give a damn. Naeba, Japan.
And then there were tattoo's too. Impressive work dont you think. Naeba, Japan.
This patch of land was grassy just a day before. Thousands of people and some rain turned the place into a slush. naeba, Japan.
Ah, the gents. Seasoned rockers. They picked good spots, and funny chaps to hang out with. Naeba, Japan.
Some hairdo adjustments. Naeba, Japan.
Ready for day 2. Reading the schedule for the day before the concerts pick up in earnest. Naeba, Japan.
Theme of the event. Beer and Sleep. Heiniken did a blast of a sale It would seem. Naeba, Japan.
Waiting in the rain for Corriene Bailey Rae. The grass is all gone and replaced by slush by this time. Stand or move on was the choice. I decided to move on after she started singing. She is pretty pedestrian in live shows. Naeba, Japan.
More rain. But that does not dampen the spirits. The motto seems to be 'Have Beer, Will Rock'. Naeba, Japan.
Rain + Beer. When you got to sleep, you got to do it. Rain is but an occational inconvenience. Naeba, Japan.
Free form dancing and showing off skills are common at come venues. Naeba, Japan
Really this is a Rock festival. Dont be fooled by the orderly crowds. Naeba, Japan.

Hope you enjoy the images. More galleries will be added in due course and the site design is in flux at this time. I am figuring out the right layout to keep the clutter down, keep the navigation consistent with the blog here and the page loads fast. Let me know if it works and more appreciation will be due if you let me know if something does not work :)
