Just as I pass by Leazes Park in Newcastle city centre, i saw a flock of swans swimming in the lake. Without any hesitation, I draw out my newly purchased Sigma AF-K 70-210mm (bought a used one cheap from eBay). The photo turn out to be quite soft on the tele end…

This duck is finding food on the shore of the lake during winter while the water on the lake is already frozen.

Tynemouth is situated in the mouth of River Tyne, in between North Shields and Whitley Bay in the county of Tyne and Wear. It is just half an hour ride by Metro from Newcastle. Facing the North Sea, the view of Tynemouth pier and the lighthouse is just breathtaking with the wind of North Sea.

If you ever been to Tynemouth, do drop by Colmans Fish and Chip Restaurant in the North South Shields. They serve quality and fresh fish and chips and definitely one of the best fish and chips i ever tried in the UK.

This lotus surely captured my attention during my visit to Japan. Found it on a pond nearby a temple.

When i saw this bridge i was amazed by its structure and construction. The bridge is also known as “The gateway to port of Yokohama” and it comprises of 6 lane Metropolitan Expressway. As a major landmark of Yokohama, the bridge spans a considerable part of Yokohama Bay. The photo was taken when I was in a bus during my visit to Japan. This was one of the very first photos taken using my Nikon D70s as I was still learning the way of photography. Guess it was not too bad for a beginner.
