Markings

We went for dinner at Sweetree last night and as always I like the decorations at the restaurant.They were designed and handcrafted by the owner Jutine Jin. Here are just 2 examples.

OBW 130 ~ Blue



The theme for this week at http://our--beautiful--world--365.blogspot.my/ is BLUE. I can think of Blue Skies (very, very cliched, right?), Blue Seas (another cliche!), Feeling Blue (wow? How to present that through pictures?) and a million others.


Here are a few pictures I took last Saturday (16 January 2016) during my daughter's Cross Country race. Happy to shout out that she won 3rd place for Upper Secondary, running for 7 km. I will not show her photo because she represents the Yellow house.

Very early morning Blue Skies

Almost reaching the finishing line

Couldn't resist showing this picture because my daughter
happen to ride a Blue Bicycle

OBW 128 ~ Calm



The first prompt for Week 1 of January 2016 at our--beautiful--world is CALM. There are many ways to interpret this word and almost always Water is the best option.
These photos were taken at Muara Tanjung Harapan, Klang, where we would normally come for seafood.

OBW 125 ~ White

For this prompt at OBW - White, I decided to showcase a very simple but common image, the White clouds. Well, after going through weeks of hazy period, I realize how wonderful it is to see blue skies and white clouds. Never again will I take things for granted. These are just simple things in life, but when it slipped from our sight, we know how valuable they are.

I was walking back to office when I looked up at the sky. It was amazing to see the white clouds against the blue skies once again.
Thank you for looking.

OBW 123 ~ Stone

When I look at the title I wasn't sure whether it was rock or stone here mean the same thing. Anyway, these were photos taken during our Korean trip where we visited the Jeju Floklore & Natural History Museum. Sharing photos of the various Volcanic Rocks/Stones for OBW.


These are the various Volcanic rocks that had been carved near the entrance of the
Museum

The Water Carrier
This stone carving of the Water Carrier is a symbol of
strength for the woman folks


Another Basaltic Rock on display

Volcanic Rock. Notice the various cavities?

This sculpture of the 'Grandfather' is another
symbol of prosperity and health.

OBW 121 - Travel

It's been a while since I participate in the OBW challenge. Hello, I am back again.
These photos are for obw-121-travel:


and the theme for this challenge is Travel.

My family just love to travel. The journey can either be from State to State in Malaysia or out of the country. This particular photo was taken when we traveled to Bangkok in December 2014. We took the train instead of taking the flight. Off course, it was very nostalgic for me because it brought back memories of my first trip to Bangkok by train with my University friends back in 1981.
