Taman Negara - 2011 Aug

[Glorious Begum]

Just got back from Taman Negara with Les. Weather was not good, rained in the 2nd and 3rd day. Misty in the morning and sun will not show until 10 AM.
Here is the shot of the raining day which started from evening till the whole next day.



This place is basically full of tourists. Hard to shoot as you will get disturbed by them. Not really favor for this place though.

Nice, LC. It is just too bad that the weather was not kinder for you. I wonder if the weather is unusual this year? In June 2010, I had many sunny days but this past June, I also rarely saw the sun until 10 or later. Sometimes, it was only out for an hour or two and then it would cloud over again.

I like the Tinsel, an interesting looking blue. The colour of your Commander seems a little unusual.

What areas did you visit in the park? Tourists are numerous but once you get back a couple of kms from the headquarters, they are pretty scarce. Most people seem to prefer boats on the river rather than walking on the forest trails.

I have it changed for the Commander. Could be the white balance issue on CS5. Thanks.

We didn't travel far, just around 2 to 3 KM from the base. Trail to canopy walk is crowded with people. Also same for Lubok Simpon. We are old men.

I mean most are common.
