Garden of Tea 茶园风光 ...

Nov 27, 2010
BOH Tea Plantation, Camerion Highlands ...

金马仑高原的 BOH 茶叶种植园 ...

Our first visit to a tea plantation was exhilarating with such breath-taking views ...

我们第一次到这家茶叶种植园, 叹为观止的美景令人振奋 ...

The tea plantations seems to grow on slopes of the hills ...

茶园似乎生长在山的斜坡 ...

There really seem to follow the natural contours of the landscape ...

似乎真的要按照景观的自然轮廓 ...

I think growing on planned terraces that help both irrigation and soil erosion ...

也许就像梯田那样，帮助灌溉土壤和土壤侵蚀 ...

Reaching the plantation up the hills ...

对我来说, 要去到山上的种植园 ...

 is not entirely an easy task ...

不是一件容易的事 ...

The curvy road up the plantation is already worth the trip 

especially at the late afternoon hours when the sun paints the hills in spectacular green ...

弯曲的道路已经值得一游

特别是在傍晚时当太阳在壮观绿油油的茶园 ...

BOH Plantations Sdn. Bhd. is the largest black tea manufacturer in Malaysia. 

The BOH Tea Plantation, which is located at Cameron Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia

 is also the largest tea plantation in Malaysia ...

BOH 私人有限公司，是马来西亚最大的红茶生产厂家。

位于金马仑高原，马来西亚的彭亨州.

 也是马来西亚最大的茶叶种植园...

Dancing Trees 跳舞的樹 ...

There is always music 
amongst the trees

Day 3 Hualien, Taiwan 台湾花莲 

Honeycomb and Mushroom Rocks 蜂窝和蘑菇岩 ...

I wouldn't bore you with the 

history and science of this place 

but it is definitely worth 

a day's trip from Taipei (1.5 hours), 

I bet the sunrise and sunsets 

are great here

The Great Escape 大释放 ...

祥光瑞氣彩雲地 , 
姐妹飄然降宇寰 . 
朁逃天宮冲寂寞 , 
追求幸福在人間 .
...
Escape the Heavenly peace and tranquility,
Seek the excitement of Life on Mother Earth

The Dream Argument 梦的论辩 ...

Someday, we may all just wake up
and realized that 
everything was just a dream;
until then,
let's continue on our dreams 
...

Two sides of a story 双方的两个故事 ...

Not Really
...
I think 
there's three sides to every story
Yours, Mine,
and the Truth

Humbled 自愧不如 ...

As long as we still want 
to have this planet;
each and every 
little human being 
is responsible for it

The connection to nature today
...
makes me
feel so small and powerless

梦 ...

These are the mountain ranges of peninsular Malaysia ...

The beauty of a camera is to record what you saw and

dream about it later ...

may not be perfect ...

on my way to Penang yesterday morning ...

Waterfall poetry 瀑布诗 ...

Listen, can you hear the sounds of the waterfall ...

A natural vibrant entertainer ...

D90, ISO 100, 5s @ F/16, FL=26mm, WB=Auto

Waving at the crowds,

Singing in joy with showering harmony ...

D90, ISO 100, 15s @ F/16, FL=18mm, WB=Auto

A lasting natural beauty ...

Neverending flow 長流不息 ...

my 60 minutes here was most enjoyable ...
the waterfalls of Ulu Yam are beautiful ...

15 seconds at f/20, FL=18mm, WB=Auto
 my tripod is standing on 3 separate rocks ...

not the easiest long exposure shot I used to on flat ground ...

it is very slippery here ...
I think some of the areas are at least 5 - 6 feet deep ...

15 seconds at f/20, FL=22mm, WB=Auto
my tripod is on the water for this one, however
as it is standing on sand; it was a bit tricky ...

Ulu Yam Jungle 乌鲁音林 ...

Long drive from KL and not the easiest hike for my age ...

we don't see anyone else ...
just us and nature ...

Nor do we see any signs for people came here before ...
Everything here is just nature ...

There are no plastic cups or Styrofoams seen anywhere
and I think the public has not found this place yet ...

Let us leave it that way ...
