Flora Fantasy

This pic was taken with my Canon Macro Lens EF 100mm. The location was at Baan Klang Wiang, a lovely boutique hotel in Chiang Mai's old city.

Black Beauty

I came across this unusual flower for the first time in Sri Lanka. It’s known as the Black Lily. I’ve been trying to find more information on this mysterious flower, but there seems to be none. Any clue, Teow Li?

Keeping it Brief

If there is such a thing as a secret garden then Brief would be it. The garden located in Alutgama, nearby Bentota, is the creation of the late Bewis Bawa. Fun, fantastic, erotic and quirky, Brief garden and house are filled with astonishing artworks, including an impressive mural by Donald Friend (completed in a week), that would make visitors go “wow” and raise a few eyebrows. And this is where time (and phallic symbols) seems to stand still.

Chasing Ceylon

I am off to Sri Lanka for a photo assignment. In the meantime, while I am busy chasing Ceylon tea, colonial-style boutique hotels, palm fringed beaches, stilt fishermen, devil curries and dreamy sunsets, here is a collage of water lilies for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!
