Sunrise!

The return of heavy rains round about evening rush hour has heralded the return of terrible traffic jams on the way home but (for me at least) compensated with the return of extroardinary sunrise vistas. God makes 'em, I just take the picture...

Hovering Visitor

This is a photo I took of some lilly flowers in 2005 and had a bit of a chuckle looking at the bee that was caught in-flight hovering over the flower as it made me think of my recent efforts trying to fly a radio control helicopter. At best, any attempts to try to hover in one spot only produced movements very much like the zig-zagging of a bee over a flower...

April Fool's Day Post

For my first post this April, a photo from almost a year ago when we took a visiting friend of ours to Malacca for the day. On our way back, we spotted this pair flying around in their trike! Since ultralights can only operate within a 5km radius from an Ultralight park, means there must have been an airfield nearby! How cool! Surprisingly, Malaysia has allowances for the construction and flying of ultralights and homebuilt aircraft. Have a look at the Experimental Aircraft Association of Malaysia's website: http://www.eaamalaysia.com.my/
