RIDING PHOTOS




I love to take photos of my friends cycling.But many a  time I was made to lead a ride in Putrajaya,not because I am a good rider but because I know the routes.So,I take less photos compared to those who just ride and follow the group.Most of my photos are taken by them and I seldom do selfies.The above is a photo I took at KLCFD Ride last month.I love to see family members riding together for fun .

Below is our regular monthly ride in Putrajaya.It is on the 4th Sunday of each month.Usually,I did not follow their big group as I am more confortable riding with my own buddies around Putrajaya,
Here,you can see The President of Putrajaya leading the ride.The leader must be seen with the public and be where the action is.If we want the people to adopt and live a healthy lifestyle,the leaders must show the way and lead by example.Otherwise,it is just rhetoric.The same with other good behaviours.







I notice that bicycle is in vogue now.It is being used to sell properties and a decoration at restaurant.Some vintage bicycles are also seen  on the street.Even though they don't ride, but some people like to take photos with a few bicycles as props or back ground as seen above.





I ride with everyone,not limiting to a particular brand or type of bicycle.To me,fellow riders matter more than their bicycle types and brands.Everyone has their own preference.I respect our diversity and celebrate our differences.The photo above was taken by a friend showing photo of our small group of Brompton riders.Below is my shot in KL of a lone rider with her colourful Brompton.La vita e bella..






Being a grand father,I enjoy being with and see children cycling.It reminds me of my childhood days more than 50 years ago.At the same time,I am promoting and inspiring my friends to get their kids and family members on the saddles.It is a good lifestyle and exercise.The photos above and below were taken during KLCFD.





Last month,we went to Cyberjaya.There were 20 of us.Normally,we ride more distance and longer time.But nowadays,the heat is too much.Here is a photo of my fellow rider cycling at Tasik Cyberjaya.She wore green,riding a green(lime) Brompton bicycle in a green environment and my eyes turned green with envy.Let us GO GREEN-Green City and eat more green.

Let the photo speak first?

  Should photographers explain their photos, or let the images speak for themselves? A strong photograph can stand on its own. It invites people to look, pause, and interpret the moment in their own way. But sometimes a few words from the photographer reveal the quiet story behind the frame — what was seen, felt, or noticed in that fleeting moment. Perhaps the balance is this: Let the photo speak first. Let the words gently reflect afterwards. 📷

SOLITUDE

  Solitude at the Water’s Edge At the quiet margins of Putrajaya Wetlands Park, moments of stillness often reveal themselves in the simplest scenes. This photograph captures one such moment — a lone bird standing calmly in the shallow waters of the wetlands, surrounded by patches of emerging green and a mirror-like surface that reflects the sky above. What makes this scene compelling is its sense of solitude. The bird stands alone, yet it does not appear lonely. Instead, it seems completely at ease in its environment. The calm water, lightly textured by ripples, creates a soft canvas where reflections blur the boundary between sky and earth. The bird’s reflection anchors it in the frame, quietly doubling its presence in the landscape. The composition embraces minimalism. Most of the frame is filled with open water and subtle tones, allowing the bird to become the natural focal point. The scattered patches of grass break the uniformity of the water surface and hint at the slow, livi...
