Photographer’s Note

Chini Lake

As we on tour with a non-english speaking tour guide I could only give you an extract from Wikipedia:
Tasik Chini is a series of 12 lakes near the Pahang River in central Pahang, Malaysia. The lakeshores are inhabited by the Jakun branch of the Orang Asli. Chini River, which drains from the lake, flows into Pahang River. The river is dammed to maintain the lake's depth during the dry season. However, this has disrupted the natural ecology of the lake and caused the death of trees on its shores due to elevated water level. The lake is also famous for its lotus blossoms from June to September.

Hallo Achim. Eine solche abenteuerliche Fahrt mit dem Boot wäre auch nach meinem Geschmack. Aber in diese Region bin ich noch nicht gekommen. Das Photo gefällt mir sehr gut. Viele Grüße, wolfgang.

Hi Achim, A wonderfully composed photo taken from the perfect POV, I like the front of the boat in the foreground & its positioning to the left, the red boat running across adds some great depth, the strong light is an asset & the sharp quality is superb, kind regards Wilson.

Hey Achim,

Not much interest in this one, but I find it adorable. Possibly because I feel some kind of affinity to the nature here. The lush forest - jungle you might call it even. :) It`s also nicely composed, but perhaps lacks just a bit on clearness. A nice photo to post and a nice photo to see - while relaxing in a chair and not feeling the heat and the humidity, ha.

Best regards.
