GEOMETRIC CITY SERIES

For the next two weeks,I will be posting photos where you can see a lot of geometry and geometrical patterns that can been seen from above,below,under and inside the city.As a young student in the early 70s,I was wondering where I can apply my knowledge of mathematics in everyday life.Later,when I graduated with a civil and structural degree from Sheffield University in England,then I began to see geometry every where all over the city and the highways.

Just look at this cluster of buildings below:

Below is a 3-D geometry on show every day:

In the design and construction of the above shown structures,we engineers need to have the right engineering knowledge with a lot of applied mathematics in practice.The ordinary folks may only enjoy the visual beauty of the objects above the ground ,but my fellow engineers will enjoy more on the ingenious beauty in the application of knowldge and skills needed to put up such structures.

One component of the built structure that is not seen by the public is the foundation.The cost can vary from 10-20% depending on soil conditions and the size of the buildings/bridges.

SKODENG

SKODENG IS A MALAY WORD WITH NEGATIVE MEANING.IT IS ABOUT SNEAKING AROUND TO SEE WHAT BAD THINGS PEOPLE ARE DOING.THIS WEEK THEME OF THE WEEK OF OUR PUTRAJAYA PHOTOWALK IS SKODENG TO MEAN SNAPPING PHOTOS OF PEOPLE IN PUBLIC THAT ATTRACTED THE PHOTOGRAPHER'S ATTENTION.IT IS A CANDID STREET PHOTOGRAPHY WORTH SHARING..

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...
