After visited to the Royal Grand Palace, our next destination are Wat Pho & Wat Arun, since the weather is very hot so we decided to take some refresher in the restaurant before move to Wat Pho.

Some random shots during taking the refresher

From Emerald Buddha Temple go to Wat Pho actually just around few meters walking distance, maybe caused by the hot weather we felt like walk in few kilometers, it is really very tiring. After walk about 15 minutes, finally we reach the place where the cradle of Traditional Thai Massage - Wat Pho. Wat Pho is a temple where consist of Thai and Chinese religious, we can see a lot statues of Siddhartha around the temple.

After spent about two hours in Wat Pho, we continue to move to our next destination Wat Arun. Wat Arun stand for "Temple of Dawn", most of the people said that the temple is look nice in the dawn time. Very unfortunately I unable to wake up so early even there is no transport can get there during the dawn time, so I had missed the great moment to take the nice photo in Wat Arun, anyway hope I can make it in my next visit to Bangkok.

Took from Wat Arun

One thing I felt regret in Wat Arun is I didn't climb to the top of the Wat Arun due to I be in dread of high, meanwhile I had missed some nice scene which can view from the top. Hope I can overcome this matter soon so I can granted more opportunity to view more nice scene in future. Cheer~~~!!!

Experience in Jurong Bird Park

Today I went to the Jurong Bird Park, there are a lot models over there and they are suffice to kill the capacity of my camera's memory. This trip I had tried the Manual Focus because most of them are confined inside the cage, it is hard to use Auto Focus to aim them. Auto Focus (Seems like block by the cage) Manual Focus Since they are always moving during capturing, so I had manipulated some basic shutter speed and aperture skill. Try to take a panning photo but can't really feel it. Take with different shutter speed Through this trip, I saw a lot colorful birds meanwhile most of them are on verge of extinction due by pollution and disafforestation. To ensure our next generation still able to see these species in future, I think we have to bear the responsibility to protect them. Home 主页>>>

Yesterday I went to the Southern Ridges to trace the Henderson Waves Bridge which is a very unique bridge connecting the Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park. The journey to trace this "legend" bridge was really tiring, I took almost one hour to walk across the jungle to reach there. Anyway this journey I really gained a lot, at least I can reach the place and took a lot nice photos. I departed from the Marang Trail nearby the Harbour Front station on 5.00pm, the distance is very far from the destination and I need to climbed on innumerable staircase to go the place(damn tiring). Luckily on midway can take some rest on Faber Point, during resting I had took some photos there. Faber Point Finally I am near around my destination, I really very excited and almost scream out when I saw the sign board "Henderson Waves". I tried to speed up and hope can reach the bridge as soon as possible. Mount Faber Park Sign Board When I reached there is ar
