Peek at nature in Langkawi

Here are some shots taken over the weekend - of nature - some by lazy indulgence, some by chance and others with a little composure ahem..



Clouds over skies approaching Langkawi. No wonder it rained so much while we were there.


So close to nature - a squirrel was minding its own business, making music and dancing in its courtship ritual. We humans are such voyeurs.... In case you missed, it's right there on the lone coconut trunk.


Padi fields along the highway.


Casuarina leaves fringing the sky




A mountain slope on the way up Mount Mat Cincang, the highest peak on the island where views of the surrounding islands are afforded. Also usually visible are Cambrian-age forests and the island Sumatra on a good day. However we were greeted upon arrival on the cable cars - by mist, winds and pouring rain on the peak - robbed of a chance at the glorious view and a walk across the suspension bridge...


These are shops alongside the road fronting the Cenang beach - they are well landscaped with a rural ambience. Looks like Batu Ferringhi in Penang
Parasailing in Cenang Beach while the sun was having a field day.

Coconuts freshly plucked and waiting - in the background chalets for rent


The lure of azure skies, white sands and a vast beach - Cenang Beach



Just for the fun of it - blue and green do match!
And then the rain came, and stayed...


I like this pic taken from the car we were in - the effect of water, wind creates some movement in a dull picture like this.
