I think trees and clouds are so beautiful that any random shots of them will look great. Which is more that I can say for some people who are so darn obnoxious that whichever angle you may care to look at them - they still sucks!And as some of you may had noticed - I’m tweaking the layout of this blog to tidy it up a bit as it had long been neglected. Maybe it’s about time I switch over to Wordpress? Any advice anyone?

Blue skies and Thursday bluesI am supposed be on the waters of Tasik Temengor with Huey come Friday morning but instead I’ll be in KL for another project meeting and back on Saturday evening. Damn sien one!
Dark FH2o blues …
It’s not Tasik Temengor but I hope to be on the waters come Sunday morning. Suddenly I don’t feel so bad as I was a moment ago. I’ll close my eyes and float away imaging the last trip I took with Huey in Chiangmai despite the damned dams, a bridge too far and all …
And if I’m required to work on Sunday again; the long antlers of the elk will be put to good use - up somebody’s you know where! I don’t particularly care especially in the light of the bitter experience of those who put in more than their fair share of work but which sadly are not reciprocated … I suppose it’s a mistake to presume that an organisation has a heart much less a soul. Whatever. Just leave me to my misery and let me sulk … for just a little while more. *sigh*

Another “sun-haloed” Kuching Morning sky! 16 August 2007
Morning light show over Tabuan Jaya Baru 1 & 2 on 16 August 2007
I think it’s a full halo but I can’t be certain standing from where I was. And it’s one of those times when you wished you have a wide angle lens!

Another amazing Kuching sky phenomenon on a Wednesday morning, 15 August 2007About two months back on Friday, 22nd June 2007 I gushed about the miracle of a rainbow halo around the sun around midday after being alerted to it by friends.
Also last month there was one reported over the skies at Langkawi and the newspaper called it an “icebow” and explained it as such - An Icebow is a phenomenon similar to a rainbow, except that it is formed by the refraction of sunlight through cloud-suspended ice crystals, instead of raindrops or water drops suspended in the air. The ice crystals are from cirrus clouds and have to be of the type with a large radius for the phenomenon to take place.
Anyway, again this morning my colleague asked me if I’d received any sms about a half rainbow halo around the sun. I didn’t but I felt immediately better and I dropped everything and immediately rushed outside to take this snaps. 
And I took tons of pictures (sweating in my tie and half-blinded by the glaring light) trying to get the most pleasing composition for the ‘perfect’ image to do justice to this beautiful and amazing sight. This time I managed to find a tree behind the office block to act as a foreground to this amazing sight. Did anyone else in Kuching saw this fleeting icebow? Not as jaw-dropping as the one we saw in June but amazing nonetheless. Anyway I am glad I did and who says skies are boring? *wink*
