June 19: Back
on the Bike
June 18: Full
Moon Sunrise
Opposite the sunrise this very
early morning, the full moon was
setting, reflecting some of the
sunrise colours.
Not too bad for snapshots with
my front&back-cracked smartphone
(plus my ancient 2nd-hand pocket
zoom lens mounted on a pocket
tripod), I hope.
Is it high time to upgrade my
hardware? No need yet, I think,
as long as I can get OK photos
like these above.

June 16:
Sunset Flight
I'm taking sunrise/sunset photos
quite frequently these weeks.
We'll be losing most of our
views next month - due to a
massive rent increase, after 6
happy years here in our
panoramic rooftop flat - moving
into a flat surrounded by trees
and palms.
Occasionally, I get lucky,
finding details in my photos
only while post-processing them.
For example tonight: Sunset
flight (zoom in)!

'Farewell My Beauty!'
June 10: What
Will I Miss the Most?
What will I miss the most about
our rooftop after having to move
next month to a rooftop-less Pak
Kok flat? Let me answer visually, just the other evening:

R.I.P. Island Bar
Sharon Birkett:
"My tribute to The
Island Bar which closes today
after 38 years!
As The Island Bar finally
closes, it's a sad, fond
farewell.
Countless
celebrations have taken place
and many rang the bell.
Shelves are filled with dragon
boat trophies, it's a fabulous
display.
A Boaters and
regulars' social, every day!
Dancing on the tables, Queen
songs blasting out,
Win or
lose, team spirit is what the I
Bar's about.
Operation Santa,
lots of silly banter,
Quiz
nights, treasure hunts, bands,
will be missed.
Late night
stay behinds, many happily
getting pissed!
People squeezing passed, as they
come off the ferry.
Punters
oblivious, becoming more merry.
To All Those-who worked at
Lamma's oldest institution,
THANK YOU very much for the fun
times and your community
contribution!
Will miss you, Brad Tarr &
Oliver Armistead!"
