A Visit to Sekinchan - Part 1

Wow, let me see .... I think my latest (and first) visit to Sekinchan was last year December 2011. I always wanted to write a blog about Sekinchan and to share some photos taken during the trip ... because of my bad habit - procrastination, waited until now I still haven't start ....

Well, "better late then never" .... I guess it is right. At least I am not like somebody else just talk only but no action. (hahaha, who is this somebody ? If you want to match the seat go ahead ( 对号入座。。。) hee hee hee !!

It was an early sunny Saturday, a group of friends car pooling to drive to Sekinchan, it was a pleasant journey, we chit chat and gossiping about everything and the most talked about was not girls but our favorite topic..... camera and photography.

Sekinchan is a photographer's heaven, if you type Sekinchan in Google search, you would probably get hundreds thousands of photo about this place. Sekinchan is well known with paddy fields. I believe the paddy fields have the best advance farming methods in Malaysia because of the high quality and high yield of rice per sq ft as compare to many places in Malaysia. It is easy for outsiders like us to drive around because of its complete inner tar road in the paddy field. We can easily access to the heart of field.

When we arrived, I was stunned by its breathtaking scenery .. wow, it was simply awesome ... with wide and large view of greenery paddy field connected to the clear blue sky ... there were no high rise buildings around, you could see from far ....

The greenery is very relaxing and smoothing to our eyes .. this is a great place for relaxation and De-stress, it washed away all stress and headache in the city life.

In month of December, the paddy almost ripe and started to turn yellow ....  According to local folks said, it will take few more weeks, harvesting will begin.

Rice is the staple food for all Malaysian .. It's the daily grain that we eat most since we are young. Some even can't live without rice.... Look how healthy of these paddies .... it will soon turning into a month full of delicious hot rice...

Thank to my friends, i have many nice shots, some were very creative. Just one single pose, a few shots with difference angles being captured at the same time ... Thanks to my friends. We were having great time. Many surprise photos were shared after the trip.
