京都梦-kyoto 2

很感谢那位善良的艺术家,

带我们到一些旅游图上没记录的地方..

京都梦-kyoto 1

1) 京都

因为有你,我遇见了五百年未解禅局,

因为有你,我有了对古都之梦...

Sipadan-Mabul-Kapalai

1) 天堂

我不会忘怀那一刻的天堂...

零浮动力--
垂直式的停留于海面下80尺的静谧空间.

千多尺下的海洋,是如此的深不可测,
海洋上方的光,却是如此的湛蓝弦目.

我手环于胸,懒怠的一动不动,

任暗流徐徐逐放,
惊叹造物者在壁上的神奇杰作,

一秒,
一分,

一世...

2) 狮子鱼(Lion Fish)

如果不是Mabul Island下的
骇人激流和恼人海胆,
我想我不会如此冒然的横冲直撞...
感激你,
在迎面最后的20厘米距离,
来个大拐弯,

让我侥幸地逃离你--
含毒的蜇伤...

3) 花园鳗 (Garden Eel)

毫不起眼的你,
像海草般的隨波飘扬...

然而,
在残暴的王者之前,
你从未曾退缩...

4) 鲀鱼 (Triggerfish)

世界唯一的妳--企图啃噬我脚的家伙...

5) 青龟(Green Turtle)

从你智慧的眼神,

我臆测你是只--
历经沧海桑田百年岁月的青龟吧..

Mabul-Kapalai

1) We stayed at a strategic located oil rig diving platform(left) next to Mabul Island(famous for its richness in micro marine lives - mandarin fish, sea horse, frog fish, crocodile fish, mantis shrimp, blue ring octopus etc)

2) The old faithful Yellow Edge Moray Eel at Mabul detected during one of the night dive. Thanks to a "S" lady diving partner that always tried to be #1 rushing to the "spot" and creating messy bubbles scene.

3) An ultra vibration-sensitive Christmas Worm

4) Pipe fish (Oops! What an imperfection shot under strong turbulent water)

5) Puffer fish

6) Vertically positioned Razor fish

7) Kapalai - We stayed 3 nights on this submerged sandbank in the middle of ocean. This place was guarded by Malaysia armed army at night following the Sipadan incidence.  It was unforgettable moment during the nights; staring at the starry sky, listening to the unique tempo of wave sound of shallow sandbank and sensing the ocean air...

8) Sunset : Chalets and boat appeared so tiny relatively to the endless ocean.

Sipadan-1

如果三毛前世的淡淡乡愁是沙漠,
我想---我前世未解尘缘应是海洋吧...

1) Dropoff Point is one of the world most famous diving spot with fall-off of 600m to Sulawesi Sea.  The drastic contrast change from light green to dark blue water within 15-20 feet clearly illustrates the unique contour.

2) A 9 feet white tip shark swimming surrounding us

3) The friendly giant turtles are abundant at Sipadan.

4) Thousands of Jack fish passing through divers

5) Thousands of Baracuda

6) A red coral grouper resting under a cave

7) Both Domino Damsel and Crown fish can be territory sensitive fish.

8) A palm size blue face angel fish

9) A shy bicolor hiding under a huge anemone

10) A frequent encounters of these old loyal giant bat fishes

11) Huge fan coral along the wall

12) Ascidians

13) The warning infront of the deadly turtle cave 60 ft below the water

Vietnam-Muine

I heard about the amazing desert of Sahara, the driest desert of Kalahari, the historical desert of Gopi; I can't imagine a red desert in Vietnam...I read about different shapes of ships and boats in the world; I can't imagine a round-shaped boat in Vietnam and how the non aerodynamic vehicles are being moved around... I noticed busy lives of modern people and ants; I can't imagine that there is such a place on earth that as early as 6 am, hundreds of people start mixing around and working hard to earn their livings... I encountered many young ladies during travel, I can't imagine a place that the ladies are so great in posing in such a natural way for photo... 

It all happened in a small fishing village named Mui Ne...

1) 越南--红沙丘

2) 迹

3) 狂奔

4) 风的足迹

5) 眼花繚乱--早晨六时的渔村

6) 渔村--小孩和疲惫的父亲

7) 古堡--夕阳下的小城镇
