Bukit Gasing (Thru a Better Lens)

I always admire people who take better pictures than I do and I'm reminded once again how sad I am after I saw pics taken by a friend of mine of Bukit Gasing and I'm wondering how come my pics don't look like that one?? Then I made two decisions: first, learn how to use my camera properly and two, post his pics on my blog.

The start of the trek. You climb up steps for quite a few minutes - a great workout for those glutes and gets you sufficiently warmed up.

The trail is quite narrow so when there's oncoming traffic, you have to step aside to make way. I can understand why some people might find the place a little claustrophobic.

Ah, one of my favourite bits where the ground is crawling with sturdy tree roots that form a staircase of sorts.

There are bits where tree trunks have fallen so you have to go over or under.

And again, my least favourite bit: rickety old suspension bridge. See what I mean? Compare his shot with mine from a previous post in September. Mine doesn't look half as scary!

And this is precisely why I hate the bridge: it's narrow (which means you have to wait until the person coming in the opposite direction is finished before you can get on) and you can see right through the ropes (!!!). It's not that high la but still!!!

I took one pic of this same spot but mine doesn't display the drama of the place the way this pic above does. Looks grand huh?

Sigh. Makes me wanna strap on my shoes and go climbing again.
