The Ramly burger stall is everywhere. Even high up where lightning frequently strike. See the dead tree? 🙂 Let’s celebrate today with the things we all love. Roadside hawker food and beautiful vistas.

A young macaque is safe in the arms of his mother, for now. His future is bleak. As deforestation reduced their natural habitat, the monkeys moved closer to human settlements searching for food. It is wrong to blame and treat them as pests and intruders. We stole their homes and destroyed their natural food source.
They are killed through massive culling by shooting. Some of those caught are allegedly sold to restaurants and laboratories abroad. We need to embark or continue with some of the more humane methods such as relocation.
After all, they are very much like us. The mother hugs and cuddles her child when he’s sad. Happy Mother’s Day.

Under a romantic Serengeti sunset, two giraffes stare at each other lovingly. Kuala Lumpur city is like a safari, if you open your eyes.
Yesterday, I saw two lovey-dovey construction cranes but they were like 5 kilometers from where I stood. Quickly mounted the 75-300mm (150 to 600mm) zoom lens. Turned on the 2x extender and it became a 1200mm lens effectively.
At that extreme focal length, it was almost impossible to hold steady, let alone frame accurately. With the sun setting fast, setting up a tripod may mean losing the shot. The only option was to set the camera to a fast shutter speed and fire a burst. Love is fickle.
