Photowalk in Putrajaya Wetlands

Our objective was to learn to shoot trees but we got more than photos. It has been about two months since I did not go out and shot photos with my friends. So, I contacted my friend Norman to take us to Putrajaya Wetlands where we can have a field day exploring the woodlands by the lakeside and take photos. In the last few months, I have been watching YouTube channels related to photography and seeing great woodlands in Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District of England. It reminds me of my days when I was a civil engineering student at Sheffield University way back in 1973–76.

It covers about 350 hectares of land and water bodies. It is also my favourite place to cycle. On the way to Putrajaya Wetlands, it was drizzling.

Morning Glory

Putrajaya Wetlands by Adib Noh The morning light never fails to entertain me with the beauty of nature. As a Muslim, I wake up at 5 am to do my fajr prayer and I have ample time to get ready to go out for my morning walk or cycling. The warm and colourful morning light makes everything looks more beautiful. Pantai Irama by Adib Noh In our busy and hurried lives, we are too engrossed with our thoughts and worries to observe the beauty, either exposed or hidden along the roads we pass every day and the places wherever we are. We look but never see, we hear but never listen and we touch but never feel. What a waste of our given time but we were not present at the moment. At night, Mother Nature sleeps and takes a rest. At dawn, the warm and glowing morning light wakes her up for a new day. Every living thing gets energised and activated. They all begin with a smile to us but most of us are still sleeping and wake up when the sun is 45ยบ in the sky, especially on weekends. Sadly, most of us...
