Australia, Perth - Bird

By -

I have always loved wildlife. But I am un able to take good photographs of wildlife, mainly due to a lack of patience and photographic skills.

Whenever, I chanced upon an opportunity when a bird got near to me, I always tried my best to capture a photograph of it, hoping that one of these photographs will turn out well.

I am not saying this photograph is good. But it was as good as it got for me.

Where should I travel to next.......  I have completed all my planned trips for 2026. Being only March, there are still a good 9 months to go for the year. So far this year, I had visited Kobe , Kyoto , Osaka and Hong Kong . I had also taken 2 short cruises that made port calls in Georgetown (Penang) and Phuket . With these trips completed, I no longer have any confirmed trips for the year. Of course, I will still be travelling. But where to? A trip to Taipei has been in the plans for quite a while but is yet to be decided while additional trips to Hong Kong to visit my partner are definitely on my travel agenda for the year. Will I be making another trip to Japan this year? Maybe to cities in Japan that I have not visited before.

Working and generating deliverables for ...

This stretch of prime beachfront real estate extends from the north of the city to the south towards Jaffa. It is dotted by expensive hotels offering unblocked and awesome views of the Mediterranean Sea. The  Tel Aviv-Yafo Beach Promenade a.k.a. Boardwalk, Tel Aviv, Israel (2017)  History and Geography This promenade is also known as Tayelet in Hebrew. It's origin can be traced back as far as the 1930s when the then City Council decided on the construction of the promenade. Following the outbreak of World War II, the city's beaches were neglected and the seas along the beach ended up as a de facto dumping ground for sewages.  Following the building of a sewage plant in the area in the 1980s, the discharge of sewage into the seas ended. Gradually, cleanup works enabled the beaches along the promenade to be opened up...

Travel Bits: December 2024

Ending my travels in 2024 with a stay at a heritage hotel .....  I did not travel much in 2024. I was simply too busy with everything else to go away on  vacations. My last trip for the year was a good one though. It was a relaxing 6-day sojourn to the Malaysian city of Penang where I was booked to spend 5 nights at a heritage hotel. The 135-year old Eastern & Oriental Hotel, also simply known as E&O. Following my stay at the 150-year old Nikko Kanaya, the E&O was the next heritage hotel on my travel bucket list and I was glad that despite a relatively barren year of travel in 2024, I did actually get to stay at both the Nikko Kanaya and E&O during the year. Heritage hotels have a rather nostalgic feel with their rich and storied histories. Staying at these hotels and walking along the same hallways that many historical figures had walked before was a surreal experience. Especially so when some of these historical figures were amongst those we read about in hi...
