Watch Out, Roger Federer!

After many years, I took up the racket and enjoyed a game of tennis with my son's wife and the family whilst in Australia recently.


The crowd were on their feet. How could I ignore them!

The defensive backhand, then the crashing forehand!

Winding up for the big serve!

Getting by with a little help from my little friend!

..and back in the winner's circle again!

Sunset Over Coff's Harbour, New South Wales Australia

As the sun was setting over the harbour, the sky displayed its reddish hues to our delight!

Afternoon Singapore Bound Train at Bahau

The famous 'jungle' train: the local train that stops all stations from Tumput on the Thailand border to Singapore. The train leaves very early in the morning and arrives in Singapore late in the evening.

The train has been notorious for being late. The last time I travelled on this train, it was 2 hours late. This day, it was running 3 minutes early!

Shots captured with my Leica D-Lux 1.

Notice there were quite a crowd on the station, waiting to take this train.

The driver still had a good sense of humor, even after such a long hot trip!

Notice the use of flags both on the train and platform.

The driver is very careful before leaving the station.

Possibly travelling on the step of the carriage was cooler than inside!

Making its way from the station, through the first level crossing, and heading for Gemas.

Late Afternoon Sky...

Some quite stunning shots of the sun hidden by the later afternoon clouds.

Taken with my Leica V-Lux 1.

Midday KL-Singapore Express Entering Gemas Station

The midday Singapore bound express snaking its way into Gemas station.

My Lumix G1 with 70-200mm lens captured these shots.

An Interesting Face....

Afternoon Train Bound for Kuala Lumpur

The later afternoon express rumbling through Air Kunning crossing, with the sun nicely reflecting on the passing carriages.
