Green Park-SS2

Most of the time, I usually go to Polo Ground but one day, I decided to take a look at the Green Park at First Garden, Ipoh.


plenty of trees everywhere


easy trail to follow


cool pond

    I would be worried to row my boat in the pond. That slanting tree may fall on me. Do you know why it is tilted that way?

    This could almost be like Singapore, we have so many parks like that. I love that picture of a slanting tree overhang the lake , if you could straighten the horizon line, I bet it's much more perfect. Just my humble opinion.

    my short stay for an overnight in Ipoh was just part of Ipoh..late 2006 I went to the Caves Temple, San Poh Jin POND and saw many monkeys up in the forests above the temple.. but years later I read from news the temple was sort affected by the falling limestone or so..
    and I found your pics extremely serenic.. very3 nice..

    Greetings from Australia.
    Lovely photos - I do like the avenue effect, lots of shade there. I'll be visiting your country next year, so it's wonderful being able to "see" some of it beforehand.
    Thanks for visiting my blog and your kind words.
    Cheers.

Twin bananas

Image
Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
