TULIP RIDE 2.0



The windmill is synonymous with the Netherlands. Many of them are still working. When I went inside the windmill to observe the inner working of the mill as an engineer, I knew immediately the ingenuity of the Dutch people. They had great merchants navy and they are great traders. Their business acumen, courage and technology brought them to Indonesia and the rest is history. Tulips originated from  Turkey but the Netherlands makes billion Euro every year selling tulips. We arrived here by bicycles all the way from Harleem. It was one of my longest rides and we had to cross a river by ferry. It was very nostalgic for me.


Below is the group photo of my cycling tribe when we visited a few cities in Holland in May 2017. I have a great time in my life. Thank you, everyone, for your great company and assistance during the journey and the rides.



I love to see people enjoying their life to the full. I don't know what bring better joys than cycling to a cafe and enjoy your drinks and meals by the riverside in the spring?

Or going for a ride and enjoy the green and beautiful countryside with family members and friends?



We did sightseeing and had lunch at The Hague.







Dutch people are very colourful and peaceful.


During our cycling, we eat whatever and wherever is convenient for us - on the road pavement or inside the restaurants.


Below are a few shots that I managed to capture as a wannabe Street Photographer. My only regret is that I should have shot more photos At my age, I can do one thing at a time.
















The above group photo was taken by the bicycle supplier and below by my cycling partner.

KB WALK

I planned to have four days of Photowalking around Kota Bharu #KBWalk ,but due to unplanned family errands which I love doing for my  mother and son,I only managed to have two days with only less than 4 hours.Herewith I shared two photos taken behind Pejabat PAS. To do justice to the town,I need at least 7 full days and nights to capture the history  and culture of the place.My first attempt had revealed a lot more for me to explore,discover and capture.Another missing dimension I need to have with me before I embark on KBWalk is the history of Kota Bharu. It has to be another time..May be after Eidil Fitri.

COMPARISON BETWEEN MY IPHONE 14 ProMax VS FUJIFILM XT20

No camera is suitable for every occasion. Here is a simple comparison. Both have their own strengths and weaknesses, and I love both. When I go photowalking with friends, I use more smartphones than the Fujifilm XT20. FUJIFILM XT20 iPhone 14 Pro Max (Smartphone) vs Fujifilm X-T20 (Mirrorless) – Image Quality Breakdown IPHONE 14 PRO MAX 1. Sensor & Processing iPhone 14 Pro Max Uses a 48 MP quad-pixel sensor that down-samples to 12 MP by default; ProRAW unlocks full 48 MP output   .
