Observations of Nature

When I am not observing social situations, I like to observe nature. Some say I personify objects unnecessarily, but I personally think (can one impersonally think?) that’s just very narrow-minded.

My favourite type of natural photos are those of silhouettes struck against the brilliance of day. If you are a sharp person, you would notice that I’ve placed one such silhouette as my blog background.

(Please excuse the offending, non-natural chimney at second portrait bottom-right.)

Fig 2: Morning has broken, like the first morning.


I was fortunate to have been at Pasir Ris beach, where I chanced upon a few curious items. Unfortunately, my camera was uncharged, making me a tad miserable at the prospect of having lousy photos and so many photo opportunities.

Fig 3: This is a lonely tree. I have cast a de-saturated background around it to amplify how it projects its loneliness.

Fig 4: This mini tree is looking out to sea wistfully.

Fig 5: This charcoal, muy fervent, would later cook sumptuous food for us.
