Dec 23, 2015 – [Wednesday] Travel Favs: Taking off

Hong Kong, China, taken on December 22, 2015

Right before taking off from Hong Kong to Siem Reap yesterday, the plane stopped at the perfect spot for me to witness the opening of the sky to let the sun out. The gigantic rays illuminated the layered mountains, and if you look carefully, you could even see the cable cars of Ngong Ping 360 on the right!

Oct 28, 2015 – [Wednesday] Travel Favs: Sun’s escape

Strokkur, Iceland, taken on January 27, 2014

Looking at this photo, I imagined the sun as a jewel that had just been spit out of Strokkur (a famous geyser in Iceland), rising higher and higher as it escapes from its trap. Indeed, this is what Strokkur looked like right after an eruption, when water drops rapidly into the hole in the centre and the cycle starts over again. Seems like the geyser goes back to its calm sleep until it is awaken again, just in another few minutes.
