taking our own shadows ... fun

Yupe.
I remember this scene.
You guys were right in front of me and SereneXMM and I was very tickled by you all when you all walked to the middle of the road to shoot your own shadows.
So I joined you all lor..
Here is that moment for memory's sake...

Cheers

Yo bro, thank you for your advice! Testing, testing only...newbie leh!:bsmilie:

Hahaha .. the would be a new syndrome which I am unaware of

Anyway .. before I am being pressured to go Egypt .. I can only say ..

You guys have fun and come back with Tons of beautiful photos ok ..

Just to add:
I am so out of touch that I did not even know about this short trip .. which I might have gone .. anyway

Wah... just having you back up here on CS is an emotionally overwhelming event for yours truly here.
To have your company on ANY trip would be something to call for a celebration!

Shooting fisherman throwing net in the sunset ~ at Belakang Padang fishing village

Sorry, these are my very minimally-processed 535nm IR photos, in their RAW form.
Please pardon my shots and the colours of the foliage. It's just the nature of this IR camera lah... haha.. sorry sorry.
Our good LowLights is monitoring this thread now liao... I cannot any how post pictures already, wait kena... Wahahahaha.. better buck up and be a good boy. LOL..!

... taking a nice stroll to the fishing village...

I simply cannot believe. Here we were, after having taken a ferry to another small island off Batam, just so that we can visit this out of the way fishing village.
We were walking up the road, looking left and looking right... soaking in the atmosphere of an old town feel.
Like someone said, it felt like from the 60's or the 70's.
I myself was surprised to find a Toa Pek Gong Temple smack right in the middle of this small town.
So there must be quite a Chinese community here.

We walked and walked and then, David and Calvin and Melvin turned left into a small lane.
I still remember our local guides David and Calvin speaking to each other in their native Teochew tongue that this was a very different trip, and Calvin was even on the handphone telling the other end that they are 'climbing mountain' at the Kampong. So cute.

We walked past a Muslim cemetery on our left side up a small knoll. Hmmm...rarely come so close to a Muslim cemetery.

Interestingly enough, just beside the Muslim cemetery was a Chinese cemetery. And at the foot of the hill, we found this trishaw.

Apparently, in typical SgTrekker style, we had been spending too much time stopping and shooting, instead of moving quickly to the fishing village.
Melvin came back and told us that it's not far ahead already and Adrian started saying that we got to pick up pace and move quickly to the fishing village
otherwise we would miss our sunset. Yes, after missing a few of SgTrekker's sunset on other SgTrekker trips, I think we'd better start running! Hahaha....
And here, we arrived at the very small little fishing village...

 

[limwhow]

hahaha .. but can go Egypt leh

Without you? Sigh... let us have the honour lah, LowLights.
We have waited a long long time already... what say you?
