Random sights

As you can see from On the Bus and Signs, I’ve been doing some spring cleaning of images taken with my mobile phone.

The quality of the pictures aren’t great. I’ve also had to do colour correction and sharpening, removal of noise and so on.

Most of my life, I pretty much go on my own way. But in these brief moments, something struck me about the day, or the light that I made the effort to whip our my mobile phone.

So I think they’re worth something.

Here are some random images I hope you enjoy.

This is the mosaic of a wall in a shopping centre in KL.

The next is a picture taken from my van while whizzing through South Africa. It’s a beautiful country and I hope I’ll go back there again some day.

I did not realise there were so many lotus plants in the pond behind KK hospital. For years I’ve been driving past this pond from the CTE out through Bukit Timah exit. Sometimes we just don’t appreciate what’s in our backyard.

I don’t know about you, but I’m rather unimpressed with the new National Library. It didn’t make me feel like reading. You know what I mean? Some libraries are different. You’re filled with awe at the knowledge in all those books. And you want to be a part of it. It inspires you to pick up a book and flip those pages. Not our National Library. Not to me, anyway. This is one part of the library I thought was quite nice. Too bad there wasn’t a better view outside.

And here is a lady, Inez, I met on my cruise around the South American coast. I took this photo because she wanted to see what my mobile phone was capable of. I never deleted her picture. She’s so friendly and easy going. She’s got a great smile. It’s a pity I never got her e-mail address or her number.

So this ends my series of images from my mobile phone. Till the next spring cleaning session.
