Mt. Aso, Kyushu

Morning Cat

This is the resident restaurant cat at the Siglap canal.  I saw it on my way to work this morning and just can't help but feel jealous. I wish I can do that too! It slept so well that I can take the photo of its happy face close up. 

... and yeah, I missed the bus to work and was late because of this.

Luwuk, Sulawesi

Clear sea waters of the Luwuk coastline Km 5. As seen on the photos, the sea has clear colour bandings that is caused by its characteristic sea topography that starts from its sandy beach as a shallow shelf where corals can grow (the turquoise-colored waters), and it then has a sudden drop into the deep (the darker lazuli blue water) - that creates an steep vertical sea wall.

Cocoa is a locally grown on the cooler hills of Luwuk. Here we see a farmer drying out his cocoa seedpods by the sea...

More pictures coming soon... sooner than last time... I hope
