After passing the Selangor Dam, there is a short bride and you should start looking for parking after that. You can only park your car at the roadside, therefore suggested don’t keep your valuable belonging in the car. You will reach the campsite or open field after 5 -10 minutes walk from the entrance. You need to pay for MYR 1 to the officer at the counter before you can start trekking to the waterfall.

General Information :
Open To Public – Tuesday to Sunday
Visiting Hours – 8am to 6pm

You need to cross the river few times and becareful when crossing because there are very slippery stone under the river. After 1 hour you may reach the checkpoint for picnic. If you would like to continue you will reach the peak for another 1 hour. If you decided to stop at the picnic checkpoint then you can go swimming and enjoying to feed the fish in the river. You are not allowed fishing but allowed to feed them with food like bread. The fish seem like not food for many days, because whatever we threw to the river they eat also but we don’t know whether it will go to their stomach or not. It was really a relaxing place.

Guess these images are useful for vegetarian advocates to support as well as promote their principals. I believe this image gallery are more powerful than those celebrities pose made for PETA, the animal rights organization.

Before the knocked down swallow passed away, the mate didn’t leave it dying alone. Indeed, the mate returned to feed it with foods. After knowing the harmed swallow no longer responsive, it tried to wake it up but to no success. The mate looked deeply sad over the death of its companion (perhaps the closed one)!

The latter case, however, could be easily compensated off the field. A simple touch up, or photoshopping, by simply adjusting the contrast and brightness with image editor could make it alive in no time. If contrast and brightness adjustment could not create a miracle, then turn it to black and white, sepia, etc.

As you navigate the following gallery, you should agree that the original close-up shot of rose flower, produced on the field by Sony Alpha 200 DSLR, does not appear nice. Of course it is not problem of Sony DSLR or the cheap bundled lens kit; it is my photography skill that kills it.

However, it looks much better, to me perspective, in the three different touch up results, as compare to the original macro shot.

Usually the Chinese will take it as one kind of Chinese Traditional Medicine because they believe it can use for detumescence and detoxification (*Information from Baidu and just for reference only, but not advise to simply take it).

My personally can not accept it as medicine, furthermore the cricket quite cutely.

Besides, it is great to see some live insects wandering around the plants. This little orange dragonfly should be one of the regular visitors to my real “happy farm”, resting on the stem of Sauropus androgynus plant under the hot tropical sunlight.

Started at the Central African Republic, the solar eclipse entered the Indian Ocean to reach its greatest eclipse at 7:07:39 UTC. Countries at outside of the annular solar eclipse traverse path can only observe the partial solar eclipse, with reference to screenshot taken from Eclipse Predictions by Fred Espenak (NASA’s GSFC), and some of images taken from Kuala Lumpur high-rise building.
