a night, or rather, morning, at the park.

extreme exhaustion. back from the wonderful outing at the Penang National Park, i have been spending the rest of the day looking through and doing all the usual works on the pictures i snapped. it was already past midnight. meaning... the mooncake festival have just passed...

there was this great and yummy piece of cloud over the clear sky. the bright and round mr. moon shone majestically through the cumulus. the curvy formation of the cloudlets (yes, cute word) were so similar to waves i saw at the beach. it was, majestic and serenely, beautiful...

so what else? i guess i have to delay my bedtime for a few moments. so i headed to a park nearby, set up everything and just had, some fun.

the park is quite big, easily accomodate 3 to 4 football fields. it was, fitting to the hour, deserted and quiet. wearing just slippers, i could feel the wet and cool grass as i was walking to the center trying to find the most open spot.

i was not entirely alone though. i could hear a faint chatting sound. i figured that the sound should be coming from one of the shaded (by the street lamps) seats. the recent uncertainty on the local political situation does somehow worry me that i might not be safe being in such a place at such a time though.

so first up, the reason i was there at the first place...

my eyes were heavy. but i was there, and the thoughts of coming back another day just to shoot the park itself, not a refreshing idea for the sleepy state i was in. or was it? it was a cool night, fortunately. guess i'll hang around a bit. look at the time: almost 3 am. great. i will be having a sleepy monday a work for sure!

can i play? better not. i might get stuck :D

well actually i think i have a fetish for night shots. well, its a different world, aint it?

by the time i was almost finished, the passing by police patrol car that had been circling the area came to a sudden halt, quickly (and roughly) reversed for a few meters, and pointed the spotlight at my direction. as we (i supposed) exchanged stares from a distance, there was this sudden silence, and the only sound we could hear was that 'croak' of the frog. about half a minute later the car drove away, convinced that i'm not someone they need to be suspicious of. smart choice... well, not the first time i encounter the police on my outings such as this. i'll enlighten you on it some other day...

a UFO passing by. sorry, not interested. keep away from my sky please. trying to snap some pics here man!

care to join me for an outing next time?
