Play with the exposure and lighting options, and these are the results….

More pictures after this…. Continue reading »

Dragon Fruit, one nice fruit, which has flesh like Kiwi, only that it is either in white or pink color. This fruit normally only grows in highlands or country with cold weather. But now, people tried to grow them in this tropical area. It actually grows and has been a big source of income for some people who owned hectares of empty land in Indonesia.

So, apart from your land converted to Palm Oil plantation, it can also be used for Dragon Fruit plantation. Its your choice. :) Anyway, on my first visit to a Dragon Fruit plantation here in Dumai, Riau - Indonesia, it was awesome. So, I took some pictures to share with all of you how does it really look like.

How does the fruit looked like when it is not ripe? Continue reading »

Sometimes ago, right during the month of August, probably some parts of the neighboring country is having haze attack from Indonesia, which is always happen every year due to forrest burning. But, nevertheless, my town itself which is located on the middle east of Sumatra, got the haze attacking almost everyday, be it morning or at night.

The reason is, there are a lot of palm oil plantation nearby, and people are opening new sites every now and then. Last year’s was worst, this year it is lesser.

Just some shots of the town when the haze was at worst level. When thinking about this haze period, I came to think of our time in INTI Subang at that time. While waiting for the bus back to INTI Nilai, we couldn’t stand the haze, then went and bought the cheapest mask available, wore it and take some pictures right on the INTI Subang entrance. LOL. And guess what, we add on some smoke to the haze. :P The rest was history.

Additional post that is out of this topic, I’ve been getting really busy slowly lately and preparing for the grand opening of Maestro Komputer. And still waiting for the Body Combat 37’s music and video. Couldn’t get a hold on it yet, thus can’t make a review. Hikzz.. bandwidth just never enough. Okay, till the next post.

Another shot from Pekanbaru, around 7.00pm GMT +8. Right when we are about to go for a dinner nearby.

If I was not mistaken, it was on the journey to Nasi Uduk @ Jalan Nangka. :) When all shops in the vicinity had just closed for the day and everyone going back to home.

Well, that’s all for the Pekanbaru shots series, and we shall get back to food post again. :)

Additional post:

Things are progressing slowly, hopefully my plan is going good and right on the path. September… 1 month plus to go.

Back at the home I stayed in Pekanbaru, the sky looked wild that day with thick clouds, and so I took out my Ixus 65 and snap away the sky.

Sometimes, it is really nice to admire the clouds in the sky and just enjoy the view on your relaxing time. Perhaps, I relax too much nowadays, since 3 months ago.

Check out the rest of the shots below… Continue reading »
