Waiting in the Sun Set

Waiting......most of the time isn't a pleasure moment. However, sometimes waiting can be relaxing if there is no hurry for any events. Especially when there is beautiful and colorful sun set scene feasting the eyes, waiting, could somehow wished to be prolonged......

Another Sky Painting

You may think this photo has been edited of its color, but it is not. The color of the sky was truly awesome when I snap this photo. Reflection of sunlight by the clouds during sun set would create all kinds of unexpected amazing painting in the sky.

 

Flame in the Sky of Real Hot Days....

The unusual hot days have been prolonged for more than 2 weeks due to the effect of El Nino, which not just prevents rainfall in Ipoh, but limits the amount of clouds in the sky. When direct sunlight hitting Ipoh's ground all day long, everyone feels like being grilled alive....... Look up at the sky, it often appears only some cirrus clouds, which have no way to filter any heat from the sun, and turn out like burning flame during sunset. A very symbolic scene for the recent extreme hot days.

Cloudless Sunset

The cloudless day is finally over. In order to stay away from the torturing warm and humid atmosphere, spending time (and money) in shopping centers would probably be the best solution in this Sunday.

Return of the Beautiful Sunset

The thick haze that attacked Kinta Valley 3 days ago went to a an unhealthy level yesterday, but dramatically, the haze has completely gone today and the clear sky is returned. I am sure everyone in the city feel relief and grateful of regaining a healthy atmosphere. And we shall be taught a good lesson to protect the mother nature properly in order to sustain a healthy and liveable environment.

 

When The Street Light Takes Over

It's a peaceful evening of Saturday in First Garden. Despite tortured by the extensive heat in this warm day, the moment of sunset is always beautiful and charming with the red, orange, purple and blue joining to paint the sky. While the darkness gradually covering the atmosphere, street light starts to take over in the twilight to guide us in the dark.

Sun Set at Kuala Kangsar Road

It has been quite some time no colourful sunset photo posted in this blog. Just that I couldn't get a better scene to share. On my way to downtown after work, the colour in the sky caught my eyes. Without any delay, some photos were captured with my mobile phone before the traffic turn green :)

Temple and Pagoda in Sunset

Golden sun set as seen in these photos usually seen during the evening of warm days. Scattered cirrus clouds that reflecting sunlight looked like golden flakes in the sky and this always adorn the scene of sun set. Shadow of the pagoda and Chinese temple arch is charmingly outlines its attractive decorative features in a golden background. The peaceful scene could settle down one's mind after living a busy and tiring day. 

Sunset, the 1000th Post

This blog have been established for more than 4 years, which I was never expected at the beginning. For many of my post, there are colourful sun rise and sun set photos. And in this post of 1000th, another beautiful painting in the sky is posted. Although the blog seemed to move a little slow due to my busy working life, but I will continue to share beautiful images of Ipoh as reciprocation to those who love to read this blog. Thank you for your support all the while :)
 

Natural Colouring Show at Medan Ipoh

This is dinner time where the sky starts to display colouring show. While the billboards begin to light on with variety of colours, I still find colours from the nature to be amazing and charming. I have witnessed the sky changes from blue to yellow, then orange, then purple-orange and finally the show ended in darkness.

Scar On the Hill

I am wondering why someone need to damage the hill around Ipoh while the valley has plenty of empty land for development. From Kinta City, I saw this serious scar on Kledang Hill making me sad & angry. These mountains play the role as the lung of our city and it is so beautiful to be seen as giant green belt that surrounding us. Unfortunately there are more and more construction projects, quarries have conquered the hills at Kledang Permai, Meru Raya and Lahat. I hope the authorities shall put a stop on this kind of damage and set stricter rules in preserving the hill forest.

 

Golden Wave Above Railway Station

A colourful sun set again in this evening. So happen I was passing by railway station and able to capture this photo of the famous heritage building in the beautiful natural and colourful background. However, it is regret that the Majestic Hotel has no schedule of resurrection leaving the great building only partially alive. I am worrying the unoccupied nostalgic hotel portion would deteriorate that eventually face the doom of demolition.
 

Twilight of The City

The end of a sunny day in Ipoh seen with a cloudless twilight which sharpens the outline of Kledang Range. The city started to light on to welcome a peaceful but warm and humid night.
 

The Night Begins in Medan Ipoh

When the day is getting darker, people start filling up the seats at Medan Ipoh's hawker street, and also cafes and restaurants nearby. Some would later move to pub or bistro for few glasses of drink. It is undoubtedly Medan Ipoh is now a better place for night life than Ipoh downtown because shopping centre, hypermarket, restaurant, pub and hotel are so concentrated in this area while parking is more convenience here.
 

An Exhausted Day

It's the sunset of a warm day. For people whom are working outdoor, they must have been exhausted under the burning sun. Even during sun set, I can still feel the choking heat and high humidity. I can truly imagine how torturing for those construction workers.

 

The Moment Before Rain Fall

The view from higher ground is always amazing. On the top floor of De Garden multi-storey car park, I am able to capture this moment where rain starts to fall at southern part of Ipoh. There is always an idea in my mind; if the roof level of this car park convert into a restaurant, that will be probably an attractive place to enjoy nice food & a beautiful 360° scene.

 

Last Shine of 21-12-2012

21-Dec-2012, is probably a most mentioned day in recent years. And this day has come. While some people is worrying about end of world, most of us choose to live like normal. Until the evening, no mega disaster, super volcano eruption nor asteroid impact has happened. Well, when I see this last shine of the day, I was thinking whether the sun would not rise anymore. However, if today is really the end of world, I wish it would be the end of an old & ugly world. Today shall be a turning point that human being realize their greed, selfish & violence has brought so much damage. We ought to share our love & care among each other, to the environment and animals. Even just a little spark of love, if everyone willing to share theirs, it will certainly make our future more beautiful & peaceful.

 

Breathless Moment at the Railway Station

This is just a normal day for me to drive to the city for dinner. However, I am so lucky to be at the right time & the right place to capture this awesome moment in front of the magnificent Ipoh Railway Station. This photo, which is so far one of my favorites, is the speechless expression of a breathless moment. I hope you like it too.

 

Peaceful Golden Sunset

A scene of golden sunset captured around Islamic Complex, Douglas Road. It marks the end of working hour for most people. This shall be a peaceful moment to leave all work burden behind, take a rest & ready to face new challenges in the next day.
 

Last Shine of The Day

It was a rainy afternoon. Traffic was so congested in the city during the evening rush hour. However, it stopped when I was on my way to dinner & able to witness this last sunshine of the day lighting up the whirlpool-like clouds.
