Singapore – Little India

Took a stroll one evening down Little India. Passed by many times always in a vehicle and hardly ever walk there. Guess the thought of the crowd deter me. Decided the best time was to go after work on a weekday where may be possibly be less people. Took the train to Tekka and walked…

Butterflies @ Changi Bay Point

Butterflies @ Changi Bay Point One of the great thing about Changi Bay Point is that not only is there great scenery – there are also many butterflies and birds. I think Nparks have done a great job of doing up the place although a big chunk of the wild between it and Changi Coastal…

Singapore – Changi Bay Point

Back in 2022, Nparks opened up a new scenic walk to the east of Singapore. That period was still in the tail end of Covid and overseas travel was still not allowed. As such when Changi Bay Point was opened – travel starved people went all the way to the East just to bake in…

Singapore – Garden by the Bay

Been some time since I visited the Garden by the Bay. Since recently many places in the world was getting the Aurora Borealis, co-incidental or not, the Garden by the Bay launched Borealis, a new immersive light and sound installation at the Supertree Grove. So like thousand other minions who are too poor to fly to other countries to view the Northern Lights, we dutifully make our way down to Garden by the Bay for what we hope would be a mini Northern Lights.

Running – How to score your race photo

Running and photography has always been a big part of my life. And while I have cut down on the running due to age, I haven’t stop taking photos of running races. Road races have decreased significantly since Covid and is only starting to resume. When I can, me and my friends will go down…

Birding Holidays – Bempton Cliffs

Finally the reason for the trip to this ulu place. Bempton Cliffs. We woke up bright and early and after breakfast drove straight there. It wasn’t as far as we expected and so we reached before the official opening time. We were not the first though. Many other visitors had already arrived. There was supposed…

Birding Holidays – Bridlington, East Yorkshire, England

had seen seals before on previous trips to the UK but never this close. Even though we were on top of the cliff while they were like about 50 metres below – this was awesome. I went as close as I dare closer t the edge, the wind was raging here, and with my zoom lens managed to zoom in and get some details.

Birding – Broadwood Loch, Scotland

In the past, we have seen Roe Deer, foxes and of course different birds although mainly the water fowl – usually the Mute Swan, seagulls, Mallard and a small family of Great Cormorants. Occasionally we see the Great crested Grebe and Tuft Ducks and that’s about it.

Roman Holidays – Rome part 2

We spent 2 and a half day in Rome and Rome was surprisingly walkable. Except for the trip from the train station and to the airport where we took taxi, we walked everywhere else.

Roman Holidays – Rome

From Sorrento to Rome and it rained 3/4 of the time we were there! Still we managed to visit the 2 most visited places in Italy – the Colosseum and Vatican City. We did not get a walking tour for the Colosseum but instead just bought tickets in advance. That supposingly allow us to sort…
