While standing on top of a hill, while I can see the view of the town or the village or anything at the lower ground, I can’t stop taking photos.
The houses that are very far away become very small compared to nearer objects.
I needed to zoom in my camera in order to see the buildings from far far away, but they still look small and a bit blur because of the haze in the air. The atmosphere become the semi-transparent cloth that make the far object become blur.
The tallest building in this picture is called Saberkas.
This condominium is located about 10km away, can you believe it? I bet it’s true. Why? The answer is called perspective.
This is the road to go up Bukit Siol. I need to use lower gear and press the accelerator very hard in order to move my car to climb up this hill.
Many years ago, I came here with a friend. When I drove down this hill, I switched off my car engine, I found that my car brake was not functioning. My car went down quite fast and before it loss control I quickly shifted into lower gear and pull the handbrake, luckily it stopped. I have learned a lesson from this experiment. I think my friend was frightened.
This story tell us that we should not switch off the car engine even though we are going down hill, because the car brake will not work if the engine is off. You need to believe me for your safety.
The view from a higher place, such as a hill, a mountain or from a talk building can be an eye opener to us. It can open up our feeling, our heart and our mindset as well. Although this hill is not really high, but at least it is higher than other places surrounding it.
Not only every hill is unique, even on the same hill, every angle from different point of view is also unique.
Zoomed in again and I have found broccolis in this picture, can you find them?
SiewPeng and I have just visited a tall building in Kuching, and I have taken hundreds of photo from there. I need to select the best photos from hundreds of them before I post it here, otherwise most of them look similar and you will feel boring. However, every photos, every angle, every composition of photo are all unique.
