Morning Has Woken
... and God gives a good sigh

ooooh, more color!!

Shot taken during my vacation to Sabah, on the island of Borneo. While following my parents to the interior, we were caught in heavy downpour and a road was blocked because of waist-high flood. Turning back, as the cloud clears, we saw this scene of Mount Kinabalu, the highest mountain in Malaysia, and one of the top 4 highest in South East Asia, amidst a paddy field damaged by the torrential monsoon rain.

Never give up even if u'r in the middle of hail, thunderstorm, gale, typhoon, hurricane, fire.... sometimes u might just happen to capture scenes ppl tend to escape from that would make one go "oh... my... god..."

Thank you for your lovely comment as always, luv!

Thank you so much, Sarah! It's in some ways an irony considering I took this shot after turning back from our supposed destination because of very bad weather..

Seeing all these photographs from different places in the world make me eager to travel! We'll have to see what the future holds...

The only thing I can say that I don't quite like is that it's a tad bit small but I won't complain because the fact that it's very beautiful photograph just makes up for it. Great work!

There are reasons why some shots I don't wanna have full-blown.. primarily postcard-ish shots like this. Hope u don't mind. Thank you for your lovely comment!

Thank you! It was VERY VERY cloudy and was drizzling after the storm... i wasn't used to the weather condition, not to mention landscape photography... So yeah, when this came out, I was excited beyond words because it was exactly how i pictured it to turn up!
