A visit to Highlands

Awaiting sunrise

This year on somewhere a week after the Chinese New Year, my crazy bunch of friends climb up Genting Highlands, Pahang again. For 2 years in a row now I've been visiting this place and I must say it is a must for next year...

The weather and clouds are just amazing during this time of the year. And yes, we had great fun and jealousy - LOL.

Road trail coming down

For a rare moment, we managed to group up in time for the climb up. And while we figure our where the sun would rise, I just could not resist the clear weather that showed the road down from Genting Highlands. Since I have no Magic Lantern or any 9 bracketing device to help me with my shots, I did it all manually. The deep dawn cool breeze was really amazing.

Blue Hour

Color changing of the clouds was just breath taking and this year, we were awarded with a cloud carpet just below the Chinese Temple. With the coming of Star Wars Episode VII, this surely felt like Cloud City. The colors however were very challenging that I had false colors on this.

With such a wonderful cloud carpet, one just could not resist... ROTFLOL
