Twin Stalkers

Deep within the fiery volcanic mountain and the lush green forest surrounding the Castle of Lions, lies two sleek beasts, the Red Lion and the Green Lion. Size does not come into play when confronted with the twin lions' agility and speed.

Guardian of the Castle

From days of long ago, from uncharted regions of the universe, comes a legend...

The legend of Voltron: Defender of the Universe. A mighty robot, loved by good, feared by evil.

Standing guard at the gates to the Castle of Lions, on planet Arus, is the mighty Black Lion.

I see them.....

I think this does not qualify as selective vision. Selective vision is your brain doing pre-filtering without you even noticing it. Without which, we would go mad, with an overflow of information and incidents happening around us.

I don't really see them because I want to. Or rather, ordinary articles were arranged to show what I intend to see. You see?

Rei

Rei Ayanami, first child, evangelion pilot.

There is an enigmatic air that envelops her, always wearing the same expression on her face, not showing her true intent. Does it mean that she does not feel, or merely does not want to show it. The purity of white, the calmness of blue. How deceiving her exterior can be, when everything is in turmoil deep inside her.

Asuka

Asuka Langley Soryu, second child, evangelion pilot.

Flaming red suit goes really well with this redhead, seemingly always agitated, hard to approach. Little do we know her childhood story that made her the person she is. Striving to be the best pilot ever, does she have what it takes?

Koumei, 孔明

The greatest strategist during the Three Kingdoms period of China, Koumei, was also known as the Sleeping Dragon, due to his time in seclusion. The Dragon is often accompanied in legends by the Phoenix, hence the inspiration for the armor for Nu Gundam was born.

More Letters in Disguise

More often than not, I think that you see what you want to see...

As the person composing the image, pressing the shutter and editing to achieve the final image and message, therein lies a responsibilities. Responsibilities to present things as they are, to show events as they should mean and to record moments as they unfolds.

Convergence of Hobbies

It's about time for my camera to meet with my collectibles (both collecting dusts at the moment) and see what comes out of this mixing pot. This was something that I wanted to do for a long, long time, but just didn't kick off due to the many excuses given.

Me, King Grimlock, no like photo on blog! Munch Munch!

Do You See What I See?

Looking into things that, that others usually only look at...

Getting a fresh perspective, making new connections between subjects, drawing seemingly distant objects together.

Is this just manipulation, a show of what the shooter sees, that others fail to notice?

That was the thought that I have in mind with the following series of shots, when I set out to find the Alphabets hiding in plain sight.

Heritage City, Historic Tour

City of Bath is famous for the Roman Baths, which tends to overshadow other attractions. As we only had one day there, we were only able to visit the Abbey and the Roman baths.

A walk in Bath Abbey reminded us of the many churches, cathedrals and abbeys we visited during the trip in Paris and London. Detailed with lively wooden sculptures, stone plaques of importance, stained glass windows with biblical stories, magnificent organs for mass, enigmatic crypts, we still did not develop an eye to look into the different features unique to these Houses of God.

Museum of Bath educates throngs of visitors everyday with its artifacts, curators, articles and the fact that the museum itself was situated on the excavation site of the Roman Baths. It was truly amazing that such a wonder was brought back to light. It laid hidden all these years as civilizations after civilizations built cities over the site.

Oh look, lets give him a hand to try out the thermal water!

Memorable Seaside Town

The South West of the United Kingdom is famous for its beaches and seaside towns. A visit to St. Ives immediately became apparent, coupled with recommendations from friends who had visited the town.

The public car park was situated about 10 minutes walk away from the town, keeping traffic congestion in the town center at bay. Cobbled stone roads and pavements snaked around the hillside town with houses and shops closely built together. The path down to the seaside was littered with restaurants, souvenir shops and water sport shops, testament to its status as a vacation destination.

Different from the rocky seaside of Plymouth, one can actually run along the sandy beach on low tide. The weather was perfect throughout our one day visit here. This brought everyone out of the warmth of the living room and brought the chilly, breezy beach to life.

St. Ives has proven to be a relaxing and rejuvenating place to be in:- fresh seafood, cozy restaurants, active beach , warm cottages, fresh flowers, happy holiday-makers.
