Watching The River flows..

It is a beautiful steel bench but it is most of the time empty.Many people come here to walk or jog along this less than 1km riverside walk.How, I wish it is at least 5km or all the way from Tambatan D'Raja to TESCO.It is not only for walking but for cycling as well.

Sitting on this bench I felt sad and helpless just like this lady standing by the rails and watch the river flows.Kelantan River is a very big river with a few tributaries that cover the vast catchment areas of districts of Pasir Mas, Tanah Merah, Machang, Kuala Krai and Gua Musang. In the recent BIG flood 2014, flood damage amounted to more than one billion ringgit.

The flooded plains and swollen rivers took everything that could flood downstream.From the photos and the videos taken, they shocked me of what was happening upstream in the catchment areas.All the bad things done due to human ignorance and greeds were revealed to all and sundry.

We just watched the river flows as this lady was wondering what the brown water carries downstream daily to the sea.

As time passes by, the memory of the raging flood water subsides and most people had forgotten about it except those families who were badly affected when their families members lost their lives or properties.

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...
